Van Gogh

This morning we returned to the Centraal Station to take the tram to the museum district. We needed to be there by 10 a.m.  We had time for breakfast in the Centraal Station.

The Van Gogh museum is so busy they schedule patrons to come throughout the day.

We toured the museum for 90 minutes.

We walked about 8 blocks to a park that was very beautiful and crowded with people. So many bikes here! Those yellow flowers in bloom across the water are marsh marigolds.

Then we took another tram back to Centraal Station to take a canal ride. We bought an Amsterdam City card for 4 days so our tram rides and canal ride were included with the card. From this bridge you can see 7 other bridges in the distance. Sorry about the poor picture.

We came to one intersection that is so busy the boats have traffic signals (red and green only).

Our 90 minute canal ride was very relaxing. With the wind we were glad to be in a covered boat.

We have the first third of this house boat. Our hostess has the rest of the boat. It's very nice.
