Amsterdam: Canal Cruise and Anne Frank House

We began the morning early with an 8:00 am cruise on the canals with Captain Dave. He has an historic boat that is over 100 years old, the Jonckvrouw. Our Pilate was Tony and he did an amazing job sharing the history and highlights of the city and the canals of Amsterdam.

After our canal ride we walked around the historic center of the city. Here are a few highlights.

The challenge walking around Amsterdam is watching out for the bicycles, trams and cars. There are bikes and bikers everywhere.

We finished the afternoon with a visit to the Anne Frank House.
