just another morning here

Our last full day in Amsterdam so we maxed it out. Drove into Amsterdam, Steve likes the challenge of driving through foreign cities, and actually the car park cost wasn’t much different to the price of tram tickets for all five of us. We parked near the Vondelpark and walked down to the Museumplein.

Went into the Van Gogh museum and all of us really enjoyed it; the kids followed a treasure hunt trail thing which helped them get lots out of it, and they received stickers and postcards at the end so they were happy.

Had a toastie from a cafe on the Museumplein, and then popped back to the car for the scooters, and spent a couple of hours walking/scootering through the Vondelpark, again very pleasant.

After that we decided to drive up to Zaandam to see Zaanse Schans, a very touristy little village where a number of windmills have been moved. Walked round admiring windmills and a little cheese-making place, and had an ice cream there before heading back to the campsite for dinner.
