After docking at Rotterdam we took a drive to Amsterdam, passing through lowland countryside dotted with farms, canals and flower fields. We passed the huge commercial flower market that sells to countries around the world.
We took a canal cruise through the city where we saw many of the fine old houses, picturesque houseboats and the secret annex where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis.

There are only about 1000 working windmills left in the Netherlands. This is one of them.

Some school children wave to us from their peddal boat. They were happy to have their picture taken.
