My second trip to Amsterdam ended with walking and more walking. My friends asked why I did not put on weight, in fact, I lost some weight instead. Now you know the reason! Walking in the cold makes a lot of difference, food also counts, my country food adds weight... in a foreign land, I shed my fats. LOL... That is the reason why I like to travel!
The Van Gogh museum...
This time I could not get near to I Love Amsterdam...
Just too many people...
While the guys went inside the museum, we ladies had our private talk here..
We came here too... Botanical Garden...
Didn't know I have to climb so high... and looked down... oooohhhh...
Thumbs up for overcoming height phobia!
Walked around the garden... and lake...
Captivating butterflies flying above our heads ...
The posers...
Sweet temptations at the Botanical...
A canal boat ride...
Boat houses along the canals...
After the ride...
The second evening, there was a live performance in town...
The crowd was fantastic...
I had to hold on to my friend's arm for fear I get lost in the crowd!
Fireworks and music was in the air!
At a lesser crowd area... I was caught doing this..
And our farewell meal before we departed for the airport the next morning!
Many thanks to our Austrian friends who took us around!!
I always lost weight too when I went overseas in Winter. The non stop walking and cold weather burns up calories fast.
ReplyDeleteI am planning a trip to Amsterdam soon.
I am very sorry to see your Amsterdam posts come to an end. I have really been enjoying it. They have been like reading a travel magazine. What a stunning butterfly you posted!! And I love seeing the canal and boat houses. And the nighttime decorated street.
ReplyDeleteI put on weight when I go abroad. I guess I do not sweat so much in the nice cool weather...and I tend to have a great appetite, will eat so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your amsterdam posts. Nice to read and very tempted to go visit there after reading your posts. Good that you loose weight while travelling so please travel more and share your adventures with us!
ReplyDeleteLove the garden and the lake, so tranquil
ReplyDeleteWhen I travel I put on weight! Beautiful place to visit!
ReplyDeleteMe will put on weight anywhere I go LOL! Amsterdam is a very nice place to visit. Another one to add to my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteI remember my final walk over there was under the rain and cold breeze!! But Amsterdam is indeed a beautiful city. I can say it is one of my favourite in Europe.
