Easter in Amsterdam

This Easter we spent four days in Amsterdam. We stayed on a canal boat hotel on the waterfront and rented bikes for the whole time we were there so we could get around to check out the city and see the sights





 
 
Our first day there we checked out the city and the local coffeeshops of course, then had dinner in the old town square where there was a big carnival on..



 
We lined up with all the other toursits one morning to see the Anne Frank house, which was really worth it. Then we biked down to the floating flower markets..


 
Before a bit of cheese taste testing..
 
There were heaps of markets on in all areas around the city so we spent some time biking around checking them out, as well as cruising around Vondel Park




 
Our hotel was pretty close to the Red Light District so we spent our evenings hanging out in that area where all the buzz was. Our camera was not a fan of the insane amount of neon lights but we had heaps of fun..


 



 
We found some nice places on our travels around, including a vintage cafe full of stuff you could actually buy





And of course some good Amsterdam coffeeshops..
