Isabel met us in Amsterdam to show us proper Dutch living. We started with a phenomenal breakfast of poffertjes (mini pancakes) with walnut ice cream, syrup and confectioners sugar. The juices are all homemade and wonderful as well. Then we strolled through the entirety of the city, looking at the architecture and the canals. Much nicer city during the day. We quickly ran through the Red Light District to see it in all of its scary glory and took the afternoon to nap because we are all so exhausted from travels. For a quick lunch pre-nap, Isabel introduced us to Dutch fries with mayo. WHAT a combination. The man literally makes the fries in front of you and allows the mayo to coat them. Heart attack in a cone! When we woke up, we had a lovely dinner and "hot chocomel" for dessert. Then we saw Sex and the City 2, which was absolutely terrible. I don't know how it was received in the states, but it was just a horrible movie. The cinema here is too cool though. They still have intermissions! One more day in Holland tomorrow!
Love you, miss you xx
