Our trip to Amsterdam was going to be quick! Just 2 days! We had a plan. Day one outside of Amsterdam in Holland at a cute little place called Zaanse Schans. This was a really cold day, but we had a lot of fun. It is just so great to check out the windmills, see how they make/made wooden shoes, eat at a pancake house, and peruse all the beautiful Delft blue and cute handiworks. After our fun day in the Holland countryside, we began our tour of Amsterdam by 5pm that afternoon.
We bought this I-Amsterdam Card which included entrance to a bunch of sight seeing destinations. So, we were on a mission!!! 24 hours to take in as much as we could!!! We took our canal cruise that evening and enjoyed wondering another through another Christmas market! Then the next morning we had a plan and were off. First, the Van Gogh museum, then the Rembrandt house, check out a canal house, the purse and handbag museum (just because it was on our way) and finally to the Anne Frank house! And guess what? We did it! We did it all, AND checked out a flea market too!!! All in time to pick up our bags from our hotel and catch a train back to the airport.
Sometimes I'm surprised at how my 70 year old mom can go-go-go! She has done so well. I'm not sure if trips like this make her feel young or old. But she's doing great!!!
