Amsterdam

I have been on holiday in Amsterdam. I enjoyed the museums and attractions including: Van Gogh Museum, Nemo Science Centre, Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum (the national museum), the canals, Dam Square, a zoo, a botanical garden with butterflies, a purse and bags museum, Hermitage Museum (a branch from the Russian museum), Diamond Museum and the Amsterdam Museum. I also saw two quilting shops, old windmills, a flower market and flea market. Below are a few of the many photos I took.
