TA Day 15. Amsterdam, The Netherlands. (Part 2)

We grabbed a quick bite to eat at a little french fry kiosk (pic. 1). They were good and hot and you ate them out of a little sack with a very small plastic fork. Apparently the locals eat mayonnaise on their fries but we had catsup.

These marble steps (pic.  2) is the monument to everyone who has died of AIDS. The weirdest thing about this is the plaque's graving: Homo Monument.

On our way back to the ship, I took this picture of the back of the ship (pic. 3).

And I definitely wouldn't forget to 12 in Amsterdam! Just another city in this big world of ours!

After the ship pulled away and we were cruising back down the channel to the North Sea, we saw a few things that caught our attention. This 2 story house is a houseboat (pic. 4). This bike parking lot is right next to a ferry terminal (pic. 5). This table & chairs are so tall you climb up a ladder to get to the table (pic. 6).

We have no idea what this building is supposed to be (pic. 7). And can you believe the size of this ad building (pic. 8).

Shortly after dinner the ship had to go through a lock on the channel we were traveling in (pic. 9 & 10). Even though we've been through the Panama Canal and its 3 locks, it was fun to see the excitement of fellow passengers who had never been through a lock!

We ended up having rounds 6, 7 and possibly 8 before heading to bed. We had a sea day so no need to get up early!
