Amsterdam

 




Our lady few days in Amsterdam (end of June) were spent sightseeing the main tourist area, a canal cruise and Anne Frank House. Parkrun was run in Amsterdame Bos on a rainy Saturday morning. We couldn’t leave the country without visiting specialist cheese shops and for Dean a drive to Zandvoort racetrack and seaside town.
