While on our canal tour, we saw the Magere Brug, also known as the "Skinny Bridge". We knew our hotel was close to the bridge.

A canal tour is a great way to take a first look at Amsterdam.

The Gassan Diamond Factory has a great Delft Shop.

Volendam is a quiet fishing village on the IJsselmeer.

There is no heavy traffic to bother you in Volendam.

The houses in Vollendan are small but neat and well maintained.

This is the IJselmeer. It was known as the Zider Zee before it was closed off from the North Sea.
