We arrived in Amsterdam via Inverness, Scotland. Beware of the bicyclist in Amsterdam. There are dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclist and one will learn quickly. We much enjoyed the landscape (which involved lots of water) and architecture of the houses and warehouses. Nearly all homes have a pole with a hook at the top to unload and hoist goods from the canal boats and today for moving furniture. We enjoyed a rather touristy canal ride and several drinks canal side. Unfortunately, with mobile uploading I have not figured out how to label pics. We captured a shot of a claw apparatus attached to a barge fishing for lost bikes. Prior to their death by rust they were parked in the garage you see pictured. Just to give you an idea of the magnitude, there are 2500 spaces in this one garage and all are occupied. The bronze statue is a memorial to Anne Frank.
