Amsterdam...I never knew you so well







So we spent five days in Amsterdam, a city of canals, carnality and corruption; and I loved it!
We were staying in what I think was quite a residential area, in a small Dutch house, with really steep stairs. We'll soon be fit after those.







We went on a relaxing canal boat tour and saw some interesting sights.





Also we got a chance to visit the rijksmuseum, Holland's most famous museum and I have to say it was disappointing, quite small considering it is one of the national galleries and the only great piece they have is The night watch by Rembrandt ---> http://www.rembrandtpainting.net/graphics/night_watch.jpg



We got some good pictures of The milk maid by Vermeer too














We were in Dam Square and Leidespein mostly as Amsterdam revolves around its main squares or pleins. Dam Square:
