Saturday, May 30, 2015, Amsterdam

Noorderpoort was going (Harry and Ralph) to pick up 15 South African students from Soweto. The students come for a cultural exchange. The best student in each school is awarded the trip for free, so there is great scholarly competition. Since the bus was going to the airport, Karen (who flew out Saturday night) and I rode along. Alycia's flight was too early in the day to take the bus, so Joke and family took her.

There is a house on the side of the road here (artwork) and exactly behind the line of the shades for the bus, is a ship on the smoke coming out of the chimney of the house. That is how far below sea level the road is.

 These are the elephants!
 Bunnies!
 
On Saturday, after getting dropped off at Schiphol Airport, Karen and I walked around downtown and took a canal tour on an open boat.








 This was an interesting bike-taxi.
 Another tiny car.
 This is a department store.
