Our last day in Amsterdam
This is a top pick!
Off to a smallish (nothing too small anywhere over here) seaside village called Volendam. About a 30 minute drive away and very touristy with heaps of shops selling the same souvenirs. Very pretty area and highlighted well the big difference between the high sea level and low ground protected by dykes. A fair bit of coastal Holland is reclaimed land and the dykes are essential to keep the water from flooding. Went for long walk to admire the immaculately ...
Amsterdam, the stop we wish we wouldnt have made

Day 54 - Amsterdam
... it. The place is quite amazing and they display it very well. It really makes you think! You walk through the secret apartment that eight people hid in for over two years and although the rooms are empty (at the request of Anne’s father) there are many displays showing what it was like.
