Pancake Tuesday & a Very Frank Wednesday

So, Amsterdam. busy, seedy and repetitive. As you can tell not our favourite place, however it it does have very good food and a story that lives with you forever; after breakfast where Louise and I filled up with pancakes we wandered along Prinsengraght to find......... The Pancake House and had a very nice meal in 'The best Pancake House in Amsterdam'

We realised that the Barnes favourite of open top bus trips wasn't going to cut it so we relented and went on the hop on hop off boat tour.

Then to the tragic but compelling story of Anne Frank. We booked a special English tour and got a lot of explanation of the circumstance to the story and the opportunity to ask a guide questions, the photo is from the 'extra bit' the tour doesn't allow photographs but I doubt anyone who has been there will forget the feeling of being in the those hidden rooms for the 5 or 10 minutes when Anne and her family lived there for 2 years and one month.

So a wander round the flower market and on to our hotel
