Oh there's more....

DAY 3 - Oh my this is going to take forever, so this may result in some bullet points. :)

We headed to Amsterdam for the day.  On the way to the train station we passed adorable school children on their way to school and we enjoyed croissants from this great little bakery right by our hotel. We rode the train into Amsterdam, and I loved it.  I always enjoy trains and public transportation in general due to the people watching.  As far as Amsterdam goes, these would be the main points.

•  BIKES EVERYWHERE! :)

• Lots of pot. It was everywhere.

• A walk around Amsterdam on our way to Ann Frank's house.

• Surprises in the window (naked women of all shapes and sizes). Yes they do exist and can take you by surprise when you're not expecting them even after reading about them in every guidebook.  

• A visit to Ann Frank's house, which beautiful and very sobering. 

• Who knew there were such varieties of pancakes as we ate at the Pancake house for lunch

• Wandered to the Dam square, the architecture and movement of people was intriguing.  
• Flower market. I loved all of the Tulip bulbs
• Red light district. 
• Fell asleep on the boat tour of the city.

• A lovely exit at the beautiful train station. 

Before we could leave the Netherlands behind I HAD to see a windmill.  And luckily due to a misguided GPS we ended up on a back road and sure enough found a few windmills.  I could leave happy.
