Pictures from Amsterdam

Our boat hostel


This is the door into a community for single women over 30. There is a long waiting list to live in this community and it can take a decade to be accepted!

The Wooden House. This is the only house made of wood left in Amsterdam because the rest were destroyed by fires.

These hooks were and still are used to get boxes and other stuff into the houses because the stairways are so narrow and steep. Before these hooks used to just be on the window, but then they realized that the buildings were slanting forward because of that. So, they changed the hooks to this.

Yes, I went on a tour of the Heineken Brewery

The city at night.

The Anne Frank House

A crane that pulls bikes out of the water. Apparently there are a lot of bikes in this river because if you don't lock your bike to something sturdy, drunk people will throw your bike into the canal.

Me with my bike at the flower market :-)
