Amsterdam Scenes

We jetted to Amsterdam and picked up the Grey Wanderer from Gerard at Caravanstalling van der Zwaan. Somewhat surprisingly, as we moved back in, reconnected the pump and hot water heater and so, everything worked. Even after 11 months' (indoor) storage. We have not always been so fortunate.

Anyhow, after a day of unpacking, moving back in, installing new equipment, etc., staying at a campground in Aalsmeer, we bussed into Amsterdam, principally to see the Rijksmuseum, but much else along the way.

Canal scene














Ditto, with tower














Typical old city buildings














The Euro 2012 voetbal games were on that day, and everything was crazy orange;
sadly, Netherlands lost to Germany the next day
















Concertegebouw














The Van Gogh Museum, which we'll visit in August before
returning to the US















New (to us) bicycle style; saw them everywhere














Art deco Amsterdam


















The Rijksmuseum, backside














Frontside undergoing much construction
