Day 20 – Pancakes, Park & Culture

Journey: Amsterdam

Yay Amsterdam I love you! The pups were cuddling and enjoyed their morning walk. Then we caught the water taxi to the centre to see the Rembrandt exhibition at Rijksmuseum – he really was a true master! So many wonderful things to see. 

Today has been made extra special by the recommendations given. Mia Carmen Reeves I want to live at De Carrosel those Dutch pancakes were divine! I was so full I didn’t think about food for 4 hours 😋 #miracle

As it was due to be a scorching day 31 degrees, we went back to the pups and took them to a lovely cafe De Ceuvel where they got lots of food and love from strangers. We then whiled away the afternoon in a park so doggies could shelter in the shade and I could practice my handstands and waste a lot of time trying to set up travel blog website – Facebook is much easier and free. The dogs do now have their own Instagram @sofawolves if you want to follow.

It was still warm early evening and Ernest likes to hide under the van so I sunbathed in a carpark so I could keep an eye on him.

Having not seen Amsterdam at night we ventured out to a gorgeous speak easy bar recommended by Deborah Davies – literally a plain door, if you didn’t know it was there you wouldn’t find it. The cocktails were delicious, I had two which meant I had the tipsy nibbles and needed fries and majo (our first time!) from Vegan Junk Food… Mark might have teased me but stole a few 😋 We then walked back through the red light district to see the ladies at work, I was surprised it was still so busy on a Sunday night.

It definitely helps that we have walked miles and gone off the tourist route a bit, but there is something for everyone here
