Last weekend we had four free days so a group of us decided to hire a car and travel to Amsterdam in The Netherlands and Cologne in Germany.
I have never seen so many bikes as we saw in Amsterdam! When crossing the road you have to look out for bikes, cars, trams and once you get safely to halfway you have to look out for the reverse - trams, cars, bikes!!! There were even bike jams at traffic lights!
We visited the Anne Frank Museum which was in the actual house where Anne, her family and another family hid in the upper two storeys during the war. Once they were captured they were sent to Auschwitz and Birkenau (Col and I visited there last year) where Anne died of typhus one month before the camp was liberated.
We also went on a canal trip through the maze of canals throughout the city, visited the Beginhof and the Rijks Museum.
After two nights in Amsterdam we travelled on the autobahn to Cologne - no speed limit in some stretches! They go very fast!
