Geode Morgen from Amsterdam

It's the last day of our trip (we fly out this afternoon). No plans today, just brunch and packing. We may go to the croissanterie across the street again yum yum.

Yesterday I was able to visit the AMS branch for Expeditors. I meet Joep and his Distribution crew. What a treat to see our software in action.

Yesterday Dave checked out the Amsterdam Museum.

Since we've arrived we done plenty of walking around. This town is pretty neat with all the old architecture and skinny tall houses. There are water canals all around town and they use them like roads. We even jumped on a canal-bus and toured around the city that way too. And I must mention the bridges! With so many canals there are over 1000 bridges, large and small, to cross the canals. Each bridge is unique and some are pretty ornate.

We visited the old Heineken Brewery, they have set up this interactive tour deal but mostly we were looking forward to the free beer at the end. We met this neat US couple there that we chatted with and shared our travel stories. They showed us how to us the tram here too. Oddly enough we've met very few people from The States both in Africa and AMS.

We walked through the Red Light district. It's pretty surreal.

Later!!
