Amsterdam day 3


Having spent the last two days exploring Amsterdam pretty thoroughly by foot, Michael and I rented a canal bike (like a pedalo) and spent a couple of hours seeing Amsterdam from the canals. I was very glad that I hadn’t decided to go canal-biking alone – having rather short legs meant assuming a somewhat interesting semi-recumbent position to have any hope of operating the pedals (not comfortable!). This afternoon was spent in Zannse Schans, an area where several windmills have been preserved and we got to explore a working sawmill. It was quite pretty in a kitsch postcard kind of way.
