Amsterdam

Here are a few photos from our week in Amsterdam. It was rainy (or overcast) most of the week, so we really didn't take the camera all that much. Nevertheless we had a great time visiting museums, cafes and catching up with our old friend, Douwe.
Unfortunately there are no photos of Amsterdam's well-known red light district as, surprisingly, most of the area's inhabitants want to charge you for any photos you do take. You would think that they'd get enough money from their more lucrative business, right?




Obligatory shot of a Dutch windmill - not really in the countryside, but still a windmill!




Apparently Amsterdam has a lot of bikes... This is one of them.










Amsterdam also has a lot of canals... These are just a few of them.




Clearly the military need to make their submarines a little more inconspicuous.

About Us

We are an Australian couple who love to travel as much as we can. Our first backpacking adventure began in 2007 when we travelled through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China for 3 months before settling in Beijing for 6 months to teach English. Beijing proved a great base to earn enough money to continue travelling as Cameron managed to get to South Korea and Japan for 2 months, before we both went to Canada at the end of 2008. We then worked and travelled in Canada and the US for about 8 months before heading home to finish university. After graduating university, Cameron as a secondary English and Social Science teacher and Cassie as a human services worker, we worked for two years before heading off for our next adventure. This time, we left Australia on Christmas day 2012 and travelled through Europe for 4 months before heading for Central America. We initially intended to travel in Central America for 3 months but ended up staying for eleven. This trip has seen us travel through over 20 countries in 12 months and we are not intending to stop just yet!
