Amsterdam at Last

It was a quick 9 hour flight (!) over the North Pole and into the night before we reached Amsterdam. Here we are, happy to be on this side of the Atlantic. Although the temperatures are in the mid-teens Celsius, the congenial Dutch warm our hearts by their open hospitality and already we feel at home. We have 3 days in the city, so after a light stroll along the myriad of canals, we are back at the apartment, settling in for an early night.
