Day 5975 (13/05/2026)

Day Three in Amsterdam and Mrs Smith’s Birthday, we had a nice brunch at Blue, where there is a viewing platform over the city.

Then a walk around visiting a few places, had a nice coffee & cheese platter.

Rembrandts House. 

We ended up in the red light area by accident, thankfully it was mostly closed during the day.    

And then we went to the Ice Bar, where it was -9.4c and it was too cold.

Then after we had recovered we went to The SeaFood Bar, and had a lovely mixed sea food platter, which was really nice but very fulling. 

Then back to the hotel to collapse and recover.

Day 5974 (12/05/2026)

Day Two in Amsterdam, had a nice brunch.

Then we went on a sightseeing bus around the city, a tour of a diamond polishing place.

Then we went and had a cheese and wine tasting session, at the Old Amsterdam Cheese Store, which was very nice.

Then we had a walk thru town, and a Stroop waffle, and a coffee, then back to the hotel to relax, after a few less steps than yesterday.
