Jaanse Schans, Zaandam, Amsterdam and Trams

Jaanse Schans, Zaandam, Amsterdam and Trams

On this episode we finally make it to see the windmills of Zaanse Schans, just north of Zaandam. This after our Trip with Viator was cancelled. We did receive an email around 10:30 at night the day of the Viator trip that a refund had been requested. I did not request one, but I guess they cancelled the tour.

I talk about the trip to see the Windmills, and our trip to Bever so that my wife could purchase her Trekking poles.  Also we explore parts of Amsterdam by just walking. We came across many different canals and found the floating flower market. We used the Tram a lot today and they were comfortable (don't attempt to take them during rush hour if you are a tourist). 

We find a lovely restaurant to have dinner and then we tour Ann Frank House before 
heading back by Tram to Amsterdam Central and taking a train back to Zaandam. Packing and going to bed as we had a Taxi picking us up at 5:30am to take us to the Airport so we could catch our flight to Cape Town
