Amsterdam, a museum and Oma




Our last few days in Holland were spent…
  • With a day trip to Amsterdam. It was an interesting place. While the canals and buildings were beautiful, we got an overwhelming sense that the vast majority of people were there solely for the sex and drug trade. It is a shame that this is all a lot of people will ever associate with Holland.
  • A day trip to the Zuider Zee Museum – this is basically Holland’s equivalent of  Victoria's Sovereign Hill. The Museum was really well put together and offered a great insight into what life would have been like several hundred years ago. 
  • Finally, we finished our stay in Holland with some quality time with Monique’s Oma. It was great to spent some one on one time with Oma, and of course eat lots (and lots) of her fantastic food!
Next stop, Luxembourg...
