|
| Amsterdam Centraal Station, where we arrived in the city | Houses along the canals | Boats in the canals |
|
|
|
| A nice narrow, winding alleyway | Oudekerk, the old church | Oudekerk |
|
|
|
| Inside oudekerk. I love the stone pillars with wood ceilings | The organ | |
|
|
|
| The floor is tiled in tombs | A painting on the ceiling | The choir benches are covered in old wood carvings. This particularly carving illustrates a Dutch proverb that is something to the effect of "Gold doesn't come out your arse." |
|
|
|
| More canals around town | The Waag, a 15th century building | The Palace |
|
|
|
| Dam square | We saw a number of very twisted houses throughout the city | More twisted houses |
|
|
|
| Beautiful canals around the city | A lovely house | |
