HOLLAND - AMSTERDAM







On the canal cruise they pointed out a house that was only 1.5m wide (nearly 5 foot for those still using archaic measurements) but they told us there was another one that was narrower. I don't know that this one the girls & I are standing in front of is it but it looks pretty darn narrow regardless.
Now this is just plain wrong - an outdoor urinal. Be thankful I waited until it was empty to take the photo. And other thing about Holland that is very weird? You have to pay about 40-50 cents to use a public toilet. What the?!?! I went to one restaurant that didn't charge & the airport but EVERYWHERE else you had to pay. Train station, shops, restaurants, petrol station, the touristy places. EVERWHERE! Imagine having to pay for 4 kids every time they need to go every time you are out somewhere, not to mention yourself.
Had waffles again – just icing sugar again. Also had a latte. I am trying to get used to the taste of drinking coffee again after years of not having it. Sometimes I just don't feel like a cup of tea & (naturally) I don't like hot chocolate. I have come across caramel lattes (which I luurve) so cafe latte it is. It wasn't too bad actually – maybe you can make me one next year Paul!
