More Amsterdam: biking with Deborah, boat ride, museums

 On Sunday we went on a 20 mile bike ride with Deborah and her family. It’s the longest Hanna has ever ridden and the longest in a while for Lenny! Delicious lunch by a canal, and then into Amsterdam (scary city biking) to drop off the bikes and take the train about 15 minutes back to our Airbnb in Weest where we had a light dinner at home and went to bed early!









Monday was our museum day. We unfortunately didn’t know about needing to book the Van Gogh museum a week ahead, so that will have to wait for next time. Instead we went to the Rejksmuseum, where Eliza threw multiple tantrums and the big kids did a fun scavenger hunt. Then robert and Eliza went home for nap, while Lenny Hanna and I got pizza and went to Micropia, a fantastic novel museum about microbes. 






Then a relaxing one hour boat tour on the canals and we collapsed onto the train to go home for pasta night!

 We are in Amsterdam visiting Colette's cousin Deborah and her family.  We have 5 nights here and we're staying in a small town just outside Amsterdam to save on Airbnb costs!  We have a 2 bedroom house next to a canal, near restaurants and cafe's.    On Friday we took the train to Amsterdam, rented bicycles for 3 days and rode them home.  On Saturday (today) we took another ride to a fascinating fortress town, went home for lunch, and then Hanna and Colette went to the museum of modern art, then we all met up at my cousin's house for a traditional Indonesian/Dutch rijstaffel dinner (a mix of about 20 dishes of meat, vegetables and rice).
