Day 4 (@Amsterdam)
Today was all about visiting Amsterdam, its numerous streets, canals, coffeshops, etc.
Day started relatively early, 9h00, and from then on it was Km and Km of walking LOL. we did not have any bikes unlike all the Amsterdam citizens it seems. Bikes by the way come in all different colors and styles.
 |
Every street has hundreds of bikes lined up, and parked... |
During the day we walked around several of the canals, which are all quite charming.
This is also the city of the museums. One can find museums of about anything you can think of... well actually there are some museums that one does not think about so often...
 |
The more common museums types... |
 |
Less common museum types... |
 |
...and of course the famous Cannabis plant museum... |
So, this place is all about freedom as everybody knows, and we confirmed it. People are extremely relaxed :P
Other things of interest are the floating flower market.
 |
Lots and lots of tulip bulbs |
 |
Just beside the market...the infamous mushrooms LOL |
There is a quite big "ChinaTown" which is also close to the much more well known "Red Light District" (here it is not so advisable to take photos LOL)
 |
Chinese signs were EVERYWHERE... |
 |
Even a Buddhist shrine you can find in Chinatown. |
 |
A simple photo just to remember the famous district LOL |
Ok so now just some more random pictures from our day, cause is getting late and tomorrow we are off to the city of Brugges :) Ah... we were amazed by the weather so far. Today was clear and sunny sky with temperatures surely around 25ºC... perfect
 |
De Waag - remainings of old Amsterdam fortress |
 |
Old Church (disappointing actually, not much to see inside, although they say they are renovating) |
 |
Quite nice "white" beer, which was being ordered by quite many people at a cafee/bar in the afternoon |
 |
Cheese heaven!! (only for cheese lovers, Cláudia is not one of them LOL) |
 |
The house where Rembrandt lived |
See you tomorrow... (no time for music today sorry, too tired of all the walking... :P )
