From Berlin to Amsterdam

Okay! Its taken us a while, but we have moved on - and have now been in Amsterdam for two days!! Another fabulous European city!! We are having a ball.... we have been staying with a couple of fabulous girls here in Amsterdam - and for the past two days have been the best tour guides you could find - we have done two walking tours of the city - this city is amazing - so many people ride either bicycles or vespa scooters! and they have right of way so you have to be incredibley careful when on the street at any time - there are masses and masses of bikes parked all around the city... we went to the beach today - the weather has been devine - sunshine and we have managed to get a bit of european sunburn! We also went to a womens beach party last night, so were able to meet lots of local people. What else.... there are the usual fabulous monuments - all the buildings have such history, everything about the city has such history - also, there are the canals - many people live on house boats! We have not been to the red light district yet, but plan to do that tomorrow and also visit some local markets and spend some euro on local fare... i had no idea how beautiful Amsterdam would be - the place where we are staying is across the road from park and we are only minutes away from the middle of town - we sure do know the right places to stay. The Apartment here has 60 of the most steep stairs that we have to climb up - what Amsterdam makes up for in flatness of city streets they really make up for with the steepness of stairs... and this is not the only house with steep stairs! See photos!

We are here to Wednesday - so we have quite a few tourist destinations to cover - and then we move on to London... so we will keep you more up to date from there... it is quite hard to find places where you can actually upload photos...
