What a place to finish off in the ye olde canal city and home to so many sights including the Anne Frank Haus the red light district and of course those coffee shops. Considering I haven't smoked coffee in years we didn't really jump for joy at that feature but the rest of Amsterdam is an amazing mix of people, sights, history, ladie's in windows, gorgeous canals, windmills, live sex shows and about a million push bikes.

So it appeared pushies were the only way to do it and once we negotiated the whole correct side of the road issue we were off for a day of peddle powered fun. Carmel once again had the full architectural tour but we finished off the day with some great food and a fasinating few hours wandering the city and it's red lights. I've never seen so many window shoppers.

Well worth a visit and in the spring with the tulips coming out it is awesome.
So our winter trip came to an end and we headed back to London to work, work, work......
