Amsterdam - Ripleys Believe it or Not!

We have walked about 13,000 steps today. My Fitbit told me. The boys have done the same walking as I, so they have walked about 10k (6 miles). We are all knackered!

We walked all over the centre of Amsterdam. Wrote postcards for Daddy, Grandma, Marc and Bella and posted them. 12 euros... we can't do that every day! We visited Ripleys believe it or not, which they both absolutely loved! It was really interesting, freaky and wierd.... right up their street. We paid 5 euros extra for the magic show which we were the only ones into.. so we had a private magic show! The boys loved that. Caden was amazed and silent... in awe! Miles thought he should explain to the Magician all the things that magicians have to do so that they are real magicians... he was so sincere and funny! Caden was clutching his sides laughing at Miles telling the magician how to do his job.

I started reading The Diary of Anne Frank to Caden. It's a bit slow going for him but we will see how long it keeps him interested for. Though I don't think we are going to have time to visit her house now... too many other things to do.

We watched street performers spinning on their heads. I had a 30 min foot massage while they had some iPad time. We had lunch in a cafe and got back to the boat just as it was getting dark.

We are going to sleep so well tonight.

Here are some photos of our day...


Get a load of Miles' Hulk face.... don't make him angry....










More terrorised pigeons.




...and so to bed on the boatel with cuddles and kindles.
