Amsterdam for 14 hours

On our way to Istanbul we planned a 14 hour layover in Amsterdam.  We had both been there before, but enjoyed the opportunity to see the city again, to rent bikes and to simply cruise around.  (One day for two people + no hotel + no museams + economical food choices + no gifts + rented bikes = total expenses 60 euros.... I think we are done travelling in western Europe on a weak dollar!)

Bike parking outside the central station......

This traditional Dutch child hauling system of a three-seat bike, it seems is being replaced by the extended front bucket method. (Both remain smaller than a minivan or SUV.)
Just in case you need a few flower bulbs....
Or some spray paint for that urban art project.....
This canal parting shot was made with the new 10mm lens...
Oh how excited we are for the photo opportunites ahead.
