    It was our last day in Amsterdam so we wanted to make the most of it. Luckily, the hotel offered to take care of our bags so we were able to travel light for the day.

      There was a cool art instillation on the canal which looked like a normal set of binoculars until you looked through and there were photos of women in the building opposite.

      Every time you clicked, it zoomed in on her and Tom took a video.

      We couldn't resist returning to Piqniq for breakfast again for more of their delicious snacks and cakes.

      The food was so good that I wish we could make this our regular Sunday brunch spot.

    After three days of taking photos, I began to realise that all the streets and canals looked the same and I'd hate to get lost in the city.

      Eventually we stumbled upon The Cheese Museum which was really just a cheese shop with a small room with information on how they make cheese.

      There were lots of delicious cheese samples to try though and there was some amazing red pesto gouda.

      They also had the most expensive cheese knife in the world which was encrusted with diamonds.

      I also got to try on a pair of clogs which were comfier than I imagined but really loud to walk around in.

    We continued exploring the city afterwards, making sure to visit all the areas on the map we hadn't seen yet.

    We looked inside so many houses that looked like they were out of interior magazines or catalogues with brick walls and giant beams.

      We couldn't come to Amsterdam without trying some frites and mayonnaise, so we stopped off for some in the center of the city.

      The weather got really bad in the evening, so we curled up in Cafe De Eland with a glass of wine while we hid from the rain.

      We were sad to leave but I managed to find a squished penny at the airport and I'm sure we'll be back to Amsterdam later in the year, when we might take a European road-trip.
