Amsterdam

Last week we spent five glorious days exploring the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

We were lucky enough to stay on a houseboat a mere 10 minute walk from the eclectic Jordaan district and 15 minutes from the centre. Every day we walked our little feet off, getting lost (literally) amongst the many canals and side streets, stopping off at as many waterside drinking holes as possible and eating our body weight in cheese.

Taking only an hours' flight from London airports and with only an hour time difference, Amsterdam is one of those places that you could easily visit in a weekend, but with so much to see and do you'll want to stay longer.

Luckily, before we left, several friends had recommended some must-visit places which led us in the right direction of how we might want to spend our week and over the next few posts I'll be sharing a mini guide to each area we visited along with some key addresses.

We had the most amazing time and are already planning our return!
