Amsterdam Trip

At the end of March, we went for a 4 day trip to Amsterdam. It was Maria's FIRST flight, train trip, boat trip, bus trip, tram trip and underground trip. She was very good and we all had a great time.

We had a very nice weather that allowed us to walk and visit different places. One of the nicest place and a main tourist attraction was Keukenhof Gardens, where we spent one day. We also visited the centre of the city and were entertained by the Scottish supporters who came to cheer for their team when playing against the Dutch. They were very nice and funny, but also very drunk... In the last day, we went for the Heineken Experience. It was quite cool! All in one, our trip was a successful one and very relaxing and nice.

Late in the afternoon, the gardens were almost people free

Maria seemed to enjoy a lot the flowers. Her favourites were the orchids.
