Amsterdam Canal Tour

We followed the bus tour with a one hour canal tour because we had purchased the tickets for the day before thinking we could combine the walking tour and this one. As we said we spent so much time walking yesterday that we didn’t even see all the attractions on that tour. We enjoyed the canal tour very much and felt this was well worth the €13 each. Manoeuvering these boats in and out of the canals is not an easy job but the drivers seem to have a good relationship and respect with each other . . . so, with the help of mirrors under some of the bridges to see on coming traffic and the radio communications, they do a great job.

All in all an enjoyable day!
It’s now time to high tail it to the airport as we have an 8:20 pm flight to Nairobi. Jan, our B&B host, kindly gives us a ride. The time in Holland has been a real pleasure. We enjoyed all that we did. We had threats of rain these past two days but it has held off nicely . . . until now, because it looks like they’ll get a good downpour tonight.
