Oh gosh no. I dont think I would have the patients to be a professional photographer. All pics from this holiday taken with my cheap smart phone.

Gosh it was winy today.

Last night we did the red light district guided tour. Was very good. Could not really take any pics in the area as it is strictly forbidden.

I took this one this evening looking down one of the two canals where it all happens :)

Today we went on a bus that drives around the town, and stops at 13 different places

Managed to sit at the top. It was hammering down with rain most of today :(



Various pics taken from the bus







There are loads of house boats moored here





One of Amsterdam's many many trams



An Argentinian restaurant. They love their beef apparently. Look at the chairs



For those that like the Dutch beer this place will be for you



Then visited this place. I'm sure someone will tell me what this painting is



and this one



And strange things like this



Was at this place



Bus then dropped us off at the train station, and walked back to the hotel in the rain. umbrellas were useless. Was freezing when got back so a nice hot chocolate did the trick :)



Restaurant we had supper at



Shop opposite. Now I wonder what they sell !!!


On the walk back to the hotel this shop was all lit up

The first of the two oil paintings is one of the most famous of Rembrandt's works; its formal title is "Militia Company under Captain Frans Banning Cocq" but the more popular and well known title is "The Night Watch", painted in 1642.

Well I failed with the other big oil painting beneath the Rembrandt. It must be of another Dutch 17th century master, but who? Maybe Gerard Ter Borch but I really don't know.

The last full day here

Today we went to this place



Which had these people









Looking out of the window at the top floor



I did take a pic of Justin B topless, but it as blurd :(













And that was about it. Was well disappointed they did not have much there!

So walked down the road to this place. Was not able to take any pics inside. It was a entertainment thing really rather than a musiem like thing



Then walked down the road back to the Hotel





Came across this strange fountain thing





Someone mentioned to visit this place so we did



Walking back after saw this strange shop



And then even more funny

Travelling back home today (Saturday)

At Amsterdam Train Station waiting for the train



Nice little meal we are given on the train



Holland is sooooo flat



At Brussels and the EuroStar terminal. Its gloomy in here!!!



On the EuroStar train waiting to go



Arrived at Paddington Train Station and on the train home. But... the train was not going all the way home, track works were ahead. So took us half way and they bussed us the rest of the journey. it was HORRIBLE :(. Not a nice way to end a small holiday. Oh well.

I have been away this weekend. But where was I ?





Last night we had about 6 inches of snow! So was fun driving back up a hill to get out of the town!

So where was I?

Nope not a Scottish Castle. I was up Scotland last year. This place is a couple of hundred miles south

Oh dear. This was a difficult one.

I should have taken more pics of the town :(. But I was walking up to the town to see if I was able to drive out, as there was a steep hill we had to drive up. 6 inches of snow fell that night

The place I was at was Ludlow
