AMSTERDAM

FRIDAY, 27 MAY. At least we think that's what day it is... It was 1:33 pm on 25 May when we left Portland, and flew 'straight on 'til morning' (like Peter Pan) in Amsterdam. Going into the future without experiencing night is enough in itself to mess up the body's clock!

Arrived here at 8:15 am and Ubered (is that a word?) to our AirBnB. If we forget where we are, our pillowcases remind us.

 Bobby spent a few hours getting  his cell roaming package on track (which had been set up a month ago, but....) we napped and about 5 pm local time set out for a walk through the neighborhood.

Portland! You think you have bicyclists??? Amsterdam must be the capital of the bicycle world. Everyone over the age of 3 is out there. Great bike lanes in both directions. At the intersections, there is gridlock with rows and rows of 2 abreast. You have to be VERY vigilant to avoid a collision with a bike. And all configurations of bikes are seen.

Seen only a couple of canals. Here are random photos from yesterday. Today we go to our river cruise ship.
