26th Bruges to Amsterdam

Left Brugge early but got caught up in the traffic.
Stopped in Brussels for another walking tour saw the Mannekin Pis. We had a little time on our own so Lynette took me to so where she, Chantal and Lila had recently stayed.
Brought Tyson a Tin Tin book then saw the Girlenkin Pis (Jannekin Pis).
Drove to Amsterdam, had a canal cruise first, up the Herengracht (Gentleman's Canal), Keizersgracht ( Emperor's Canal) and Prinsengracht (Prince's Canal) to look at the beautiful houses, then another walking tour, went pass the smallest house in Amsterdam where our tour director Howard Hazekamp lives, past hash house cafes and through the famous red light district.
Back to the hotel got dressed and went for a run. Asked at reception where to go, she pointed us to a lovely park. Lynette ran 5kms I kept going and ran 8km. We went back, showered and went to eat at about 8.45pm, surprisingly a lot of places were closed already. We ate at a meat restaurant called Gauchos, it was very good.
