Our first stop in mainland Europe (after an incredible four days in Iceland) was Amsterdam. Without a doubt, it is one of the most charming and beautiful cities in the world. We walked all over the city, logging over 30 miles during our time there. We spent most of our time wandering around and exploring the streets, but we had time to do visit some of the attractions. One of the highlights was visiting the Rijksmuseum, one of the best collections of art in all of Europe, and getting to see paintings by artists like Rembrandt and Van Gogh. On our last night, we took a cold but very interesting boat tour of the canals, a great way to say good-bye to one of our new favorite cities in the world. We will definitely be back some day!
