Spent the weekend visiting some friends in Amsterdam!
Amsterdam and the surrounding parts of the city are definitely interesting visit and experience. On Saturday I visited Volendam, Laren, and Naarden, and in the afternoon Amsterdam city itself. Lots of windmills, waterways, green fields, and maroon brick houses :)
On Sunday I did a water tour through the Amsterdam canals which was really great, through all of the bridges and alongside the tall, skinny buildings that house all sorts of interesting shops! :)
Also tried a pickled Herring on the weekend for the first time! Definitely not for the uninitiated, and walked past heaps of Coffee Shops alongside the center of the city - although strangely none of them actually sold Coffee! :)
