A major part of today's tour was by canal boat. Such a pretty day for being outside and you can see so much more from the water. We had done a canal boat tour of Amsterdam on a previous cruise but this one covered some different areas and included quite a good bus tour too.
A beautiful flower shop on the canal--you could shop from either the street or canal side. Very bright and the plants all looked very healthy.
A good view looking down a canal with the homes and shops along the sides. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you'll see that the cars park right tight to the canal. Think it looks like there is a rail along here for them to park against but some places there wasn't anything at all to stop the car from going in the canal if they drove a bit too far! The guide said that does happen!
Bridge after bridge after bridge. Certainly a different way of life from ours in Amarillo, TX!
There are many house boats in the canals and many of them have their own gardens. All kinds of structures are used as house boats and some were quite large, others very small.
