On our final morning we got up early and packed and had breakfast before taking a walk to have another look at the flower market. We would have loved to have purchased some bulbs, but Australia has such strict rules we knew we would never have been able to bring them into the country, which was a shame.

It was a lovely sunny morning so we had a look at the Majere Brug and finally went into one of the canal house museums, the Willet-Holthuysen Museum. It was really interesting to get some idea of how people lived in these beautiful houses.

We finished up with a final coffee outside the Bushdoctor coffeeshop before checking out of the hotel and getting a taxi to the airport. We had booked into the Serviceair lounge at Schiphol, with was £20 very well spent. Much more relaxing to sit in a lounge with nice wine and food and internet access than just out in the airport.

We loved our short break in Amsterdam and hope to one day be able to come back for a few more days.
