Live from "The Dam", Spreekt u Engels?

Goedemorgen from Amsterdam,

Having walked our way around the most part of the city over the long weekend, we are getting around with more confidence now. There is still so much to explore and experience, we've barely even scratched the surface. We managed to make our way to several of the local markets here that sell just about everything from Mackerel Sandwiches to Magnets. I'm still amazed how close and well situated everything is.

The first really touristy thing we have done was to make our way to the Heineken Experience [that, and take a massive amount of photo's], a haven for the beer lovers of the world. The old brewery is such a grand place and even if your not a beer person there is still plenty of interesting things to see and do. We even caught a glimpse of the Heineken Horses that still to this day deliver beer along the cobbled streets of the city.

This weekend coming in Amsterdam is the National Museum weekend, so we hope to make our way to a few that are on the top of our list such as the Rembrandt and Van Gogh Museum's. There are just so many Museum's here it is hard to pick a place to start.

There is so much more to tell, but for now here's just a few of the first round of photo's.

One of the many buildings along Prinsengracht

Ness on Prinsengracht

Jim at the Monument on Rembrandt Square

View along the Damrak (Centre of the city)

The Amsterdam Royal Palace on Dam Square

The Tuschinski Theatre

I think everyone knows why I took this photo...

Couldn't pass up that photo, so many of the coffee shops and cafes have rather cool and clever names. We passed another a few streets from Damrak dedicated to Jim Morrison and The Doors.

Hope everyone is doing well, both back home in Aus. and those traversing this wide world of ours. Plenty more photos and posts to come so stay tuned for another knee slapping, rib tickling, Mackerel smoking episode of Ness and Jim in Amsterdam. Tot Ziens, for now.
