In amongst all this, we still kept up with the travel. Most recently we spent a long weekend with a couple from Church in Amsterdam. While we there it rained. A LOT. But we still managed to see a bit. With all that rain and all those canals its a wonder not even more of the country is actually below sea level! Apparently the Anne Frank House is overrated and when we saw how long the queues were we decided not to make the effort. We did see some of the famous sites though, including the Rijksmueseum, Rembrandtplatz, Albert Cupyrmarkt, and the flower market. One of our highlights though was getting out of the city to visit the Hoge Veluwe National Park. The park has a mix of wooded areas and dunes. It's home to the Kroller-Muller Museum and a great collection of scupltures and Van Gogh art work. One of the cool things about the park was that they have free bikes that you can just collect at any of the entrances and then return when you leave. Here are some of the pics from the weekend.
