Tall buildings with gabled facades line canals, church steeples and windmills in the distance; these are the scenes of vibrant Amsterdam.

Bicycles are definitely the premiere way of transportation (even in mini skirts and heels) yet buses, trams, trains and cars share the space as well. It is a great city for walking, window shopping (a lot of funky shoes) or stopping to people watch while having that coffee or glass of wine. Pastries, fine food and cheese; the selection is endless. Big boats, little boats, house boats and canal cruisers, I need not say more.

There’s far too much eye candy to put into words, so sit back and enjoy the pictures of our first couple days in Amsterdam.

Until next time…
