14 July
Today we used the bikes from our b&b to go back and look again at some of the sights we passed on the bike and boat tours from yesterday. We went to the highly photographed I Amsterdam sign near all the museums, to one of the more beautiful canals in the city with 7 bridges and climbed to the top of the Nemo building for a good view of the port. We then locked our bikes and went into the main square. We followed a free audioguide around the red light district and learnt a bit more about how the government is controlling weed and prostitution- was definitely eye opening but very glad to get out of that area! The city has been very busy this weekend, lots of tourists and people coming from other parts of the Netherlands during the holidays and for the summer weather.
