Winter Wonderland! - Amsterdam

Our last days in Amsterdam, boarding a flight to London tomorrow morning at 8.55am and then going to Birmingham for Christmas. Providing we can actually fly into London. Been hearing that the weather is pretty bad over there and flights are being canceled. Hopefully we'll be lucky and get through on a clear morning.

Here in Amsterdam though, its been exhausting! We are knackered!
The last couple days have been full of stuff. Went to the Amsterdam zoo, a canal cruise, the Rijks museum, the Van Gogh museum, the Heineken Brewery, the Ice Bar, Red Light district at night, the royal palace, and more shopping.

The heineken brewery was awesome, its was more of an amusement park than a brewery!
And I am VERY proud to say that Ashlinne, drank her first whole glass of beer!! We've got the photographic evidence to prove it! Soon she'll be guzzling it like the rest of us! ;)

And the ice bar, is literally a bar made of ice. You get a beer in a glass made of ice. No personal photos allowed though :(, they take one and you have to buy it from them, which we did.

Its so cold here that the river has frozen! When we were doing our canal cruise, the boat was actually cracking and churning its way through the river as it was just beginning to freeze, but today, it is completely frozen. I'm not sure if the canal cruises are even operation anymore. Its pretty crazy to see a whole stretches of river frozen in the open air. You should be able to see in the pics the below.
 






















We love you all!
