René's - An absolute must if you are ever in Amsterdam. Out of this world pastries and coffee. Gotta try the Oliebollen, dutch donuts. It's a seasonal thing usually made during New Year's or Fun-fairs, and since I was lucky enough to be there during a Fun-fair they had them. Here's more on René's: http://www.ouramsterdamholidays.com/shops/renes-croissants/

This was awesome. So entertaining.

Prague to Hamburg 10/16

On our way to Amsterdam, we stopped over in Hamburg, Germany for one night as our resting point. We had a fun time messing with some of the Germans that we met on the DB (Deutsche Bahn) which is the German Railway. Those Germans can be so stern and needed to loosen up a bit. Rich was at one with his people, not!

Departing Prague - look at all our luggage!

German Police Man

We named our conductor Banan in honor of her banana clip. I haven't seen one of those since the 80s. She was such a witch in the beginning but ending up being really nice.

Dresden

Berlin

Hamburg, Germany - not much to see here.
