Een zeer drukke dag!

Een zeer drukke dag? That means "a very busy day" in Dutch.

We started out by getting a day pass to the Canal Bus -- a fleet of
luxurious motor yachts that take you all over Amsterdam via the
interconnected canals.

First stop was the the Rijksmuseum home of the art of the Dutch master
painters and featuring the works of Rembrandt. We then strolled in one
of the many beautiful parks and had a little ice cream.

Later, we got off in a beautiful part of the city to enjoy a lunch at
an outdoor cafe (pictured). The weather has been clear and in the 70's
perfect for walking.

After a nap, we took the canal bus to Anne Frank's home; a sobering
reminder of how cruel we humans can be to each other at times.

Tonight we went to an excellent Italian dinner with alfresco dining.
