Netherlands - Amsterdam

Yesterday was day 152 - exactly HALF WAY! 
We started the second half of our trip relaxing for the morning with Jan and Bea, as well as cleaning the camper in preparation for its return in Amsterdam.
We were treated to some very Dutch delicacies including Salted Herring, and Ollie Bollen. Ollie Bollen is normally only eaten at New Years but lucky for us someone at the local market was celebrating something so they had made some. They were delicious, although not very good for you I am sure.  
After saying our goodbyes to everyone with promises to visit again and invitations for them to come to Australia, we drove to Amsterdam.
We found our hotel, after a little searching, checked in, and then went to return the van. 
Relieved to be finally free of anymore driving for the remainder of our trip, we settled into our hotel and caught up on some life admin.

Amsterdam is known for it's canals....and it's bikes, we just didn't know the two went together.
