Well straight from Paris a day to recover and then over to Amsterdam for a week.  What a great week it was.

Went to the Rielk Museum which was incredible and saw the famous Night Watchman.  Then Em and I hit the Van Gogh Museum which was equally incredible.  I went on an incredible walking tour which was possibly the best one I have been on and I have done a lot of them.

We went exploring the Dam, Waterlooplein flea markets, the Red Light District.  It was a great week.

This piece of art was put next to the old church by an unknown artist. To say who needs who the man or the prostitute??? On my walking tour. This was fascinating, see the lean on the buildings, that's right the corner is sinking the sideways lean but the forward lean is on purpose... ...see the pully system at the top of the buildings. This was so the Amsterdamers could pull their furniture etc up through the windows when they moved house without smashing all the windows on the way up.
