Amsterdam Day 2
A dad bit

-17 °C
Awake and refreshed we headed into Amsterdam (apoligies for slurred writing as teeny bit tiddly at this time). Went window shopping, you so wouldn't believe what was in the windows! Didn't buy of course, but hmmm interesting, and actually not as exciting as you would think.
Went to Ann Franks house, a must for any traveller. It's fantastic, superbly put together and I can't praise it enough for thought and content. Both of us learned things. After this and a bite to eat we went to go on a canal cruise. We ran through the rain (bloody heavy), paid 6 Euro and climbed on the canal boat. We then got off the boat, got our money back and looked for the real tourest cruise as we had actually got on a water bus. We eventually found the cruise and spent an hour seeing the sights. I reccommend this action to anyone, and if with a female (or should I say partner to be politically correct) go on the cruise with drinks or meal as they appear romantic and fun.
As we were getting off the boat, a young lady with exceptionally large floatation aids (in case she fell in the canal) asked me if I was stiff as I was stretching. I explained to her that what she said was not the best english and that someone, unlike myself, may construe her question wrongly.
We returned to the city after a wash and brush up and being hungry found a weird chineese restaurant where the portions were massive (well all portions are huge here) and where all the staff and family sat on the table next to us and had a meal themselves. At least the food must have been ok if they ate it.
Post this, and Neil being hungry still, I bought him some cake in the buldon bar. For some reason he became light headed and talked utter crap. He also blamed the walls for being in the wrong place as an excuse fr loosing at pool. At least he didn't fall over, as I did the day before, although I did have to rescue him from the tram as I don't think he realised that they were bigger and faster than he was.
