Tourists

Lots of tourists in Amsterdam at the moment. This is the queue at the Anne Frank house that goes on around the corner in the back.

 The activity in the canals, locals and tourists all want to be there.

These girls had no notion where to go and almost bumped against some boats.The guy prefers to watch the  tour on his I-phone!

  1. My Mother bought me this book as a young girl and it is one of my treasures. I cannot recall how many times I read it. I am amazed by the traffic on the canal and having a giggle as I look at the photo of the girls navigating their boat :)Have a wonderful day Marianne.

  3. There was a good sized line at the Frank House when we were there. ....but we didn't have to wait because we had gotten our tickets online.. I highly recommend! I don't think I would be brave enough
    To navigate those busy canals....

  5. You show lots of fun here. It's amazing to see such a huge line up for the Ann Frank house. I'm sure many people watched the girls in the boat and had a good laugh.

  6. I suppose that would be one site I'd miss. I detest standing in lines.

  8. Wat een drukte en allemaal in de rij in die vreselijke hitte. Het is nu nog wat koeler gelukkig dus alles kan even open. Hopelijk wordt het niet meer zo heet als van de week, toen was het hier ook 34 graden, dat is niet meer gezond.

    1. It is not your town (yet), but Utrecht is a smaller Amsterdam I think. I like Utrecht too, you know your way there pretty soon. Amsterdam takes more time to get to know. Hubby Stef knows the city very well, better than me, I just walk with (after) him. What's very nice is the Noordermarkt in the Jordaan on saturday food and all kind of stuff, and on monday second hand clothes. And a piece of appletaart at Cafe Winkel on the market, delicious! The Haarlemmerstreet and Westerpark are also nice.

  13. We stood om the rain to get in to the Anne Frank house but it was worth it. I loved touring it and I don't think anyone can really get a feel unless you go through it.
