Amsterdam

Sitting in the cafe at the rijksmuseum resting both my feet and my eyes. This has been my museum marathon day, starting with Van Gogh then the modern art museum and now here. Doug is off on his trek around the city. This is day four of our trip. We left Thursday, April 28 in the evening, arrived on Friday, got the train from the airport to Amsterdam and then walked to our hotel lugging our bags behind us. A little rain and sleet never hurt anyone, did they? Dropped our bags at the hotel and headed to the rijksmuseum for a couple of hours of looking at art--a bit sleep deprived but we took in quite a lot. I am back today to fill in some of the exhibits I missed. 

A typical canal view.  Saturday was a walking tour of the Jordaan district.  Went to a street market and an old church and zagged and zagged through the old town.

This one of the canal boats that tours the canals.  It is one the schedule for our Viking cruise in a couple of days.  After all our walking we landed back at our hotel which is located in the museum district.
