DAY 48: TUE 9 OCT - AMSTERDAM

Fine and cool 5-13deg, but felt ok as I didn’t ride. The temperature difference between 9am and the warmest part of the day was 4 deg.    

This was Wendy’s last full day so we wanted to see as much as we could, but not the touristy stuff if we can help it.  Started the day at our favourite breakfast place next door, Kenk’s; eggs, bacon and coffee. 

Then walked to the Waterloo district for a free tour at Gassens Diamonds House.  This made Wendy’s eyes light up with all the sparkly things she loves.  

Walked into the city and bought a few souvenirs.  Had lunch at my favourite department store V&Ds food-hall.  It was then back to the motel for Wendy to pack her bags.
