Hooked on Amsterdam

I always hate to leave Italy, but an adventure in Amsterdam called. We flew over the Alps on a gorgeous sunny morning.

Take a closer look at that peak.

Holland looks very neat and very green from above.

We hit the ground running and headed straight for the centre of Amsterdam. There are some absolutely gorgeous buildings in the city and I will show you these soon, but the things that fascinated me the most are the hooks at the top of many of the houses.

I’m guessing they were used to haul things up from the footpath. I would hate to think they were used as a form of torture where wrong doers were suspended by the nostrils ( or other bits ).
