Bamberg, Germany has the only garden gnome
store that I've seen and we were lucky enough to see it on our way to
Amsterdam.

We also get to see some of the scenic Rhine
valley on our way to Amsterdam. It seems like they have a castle every
half mile. It was probably pretty annoying to all the merchants who had
to pay river taxes to each castle.

 |
We stop in Cologne for a meal at this sausage
vendor. Our last big wurst blowout in Germany.
|
 |
We finally arrive in
Amsterdam and have to deal with the problem of bicycle parking. Not
because we have a bike to park, but because they take up all the
sidewalks. This is the view in front of our hotel near the train station.

 |
Scenic buildings. Notice the canal in the
foreground. They're everywhere.
|
 |
We visit the Rijksmuseum so I can warm up for
the big visit to the Van Gogh museum tomorrow. You can see the spring
reaching the trees here.
