Visit to Amsterdam, Holland

On April 9, 2014 we took the fast train to Holland.
Elder and Sister Wing,
Elder and Sister Greenwood,
and Elder and Sister Smith went with us.
 
This is at the train station in Frankfurt.
The stairs have Ritter Sport candy bars painted on them. 
 


 
We are on the train heading off for Amsterdam.



 
There are so many bikes.  It is the way people get around town.


However,  I would love to have a ride in that car!

 
There are many canals and people live in houseboats.







Look at all the bridges lined up.
 
 
That bird was headed right at me.





 
This is the Olympic Stadium at Amsterdam.



We are heading to Keukenhof to see the flowers.

 





The flowers were absolutely beautiful!

I have no idea what kind of flower this is!




 
I was using a wheel chair and Elder J pushed me into this maze bushes.


Wooden shoes ... do you have something in a size 8?
 









Elder J is on the windmill ... the cute one with a hat!
 







Elder J getting up close and personal with the tulips.






This poor little guy was in the wrong place! 




 Still planting more tulips!





Sister J looking for someone to give a pass along card to.
 



Sis, this one is for you!

 

 
 




They also have cute little cars!

This is a "family" bike.  The wooden box in front has seats
for about 4 little children.


The train station in Amsterdam.
 

We ate dinner at this floating Chinese restaurant.
Too Expensive!
 
 




In the lobby of our hotel.

Another bike with a cute kid seat that has it's own windshield.




Inside the Rijksmuseum.

Some of my favorite paintings.



 Rembrandt
 
 This doll house was amazing.
It cost as much to make as a regular house.







Elder J may be in Holland, but he still has to work.
Talking to a missionary across the street from the
restaurant where we were eating outside.

There were lots of people.

Some of the buildings are so crooked!



The outside of our Hotel.

Our room ... small but ok.


The best dessert I have ever had ... chocolate mousse.
Elder J had a cheese cake.
 

One of the highlights of our trip was the Anne Frank Museum.
 
This is the breakfast room at our hotel.

The hotel had many antiques.



 We enjoyed getting onboard of this old ship.
















Waiting at the train station for our train home!
