Day 41 - Amsterdam Where Bikes Rule !

Journeyed into sunny Amsterdam on the Schipol express to view first hand why they call the city a bikers paradise !

There were bikes everywhere, some fitting the category of being silent killers as they fly around corners often through traffic and pedestrians

Crossing the road became a real challenge looking out for trams, cars and killer bikes !

We took in Madame Tussards which had some interesting interactive displays and
had lunch in one of the quiet alleyways that make Amsterdam famous

Meaningless wandering become the aim of the day before a session in Amsterdam's ice bar a complete waste of time other than the 2 beers it provided.

Walking back to the station gave us a look at some of the beautiful circa 1750 buildings and the lovely canals that make up this pretty city

We got back to the hotel to receive a rather disheveled looking Kevin Henley my riding partner for the next 3 months - Kev had successfully endured the 24 hour flight across

Its only 1 full day left for Monika before she wings her way home to Australia !
