Hey then, what is Amsterdam famous for? Canals and canal boats. Rather than staying in some dingy hotel up loads of steep stairs, it is possible to hire a canal boat. It is cheaper than most hotels or apartments and the water-level views of ducks and passing life are really amazing.
We have done it on a number of ocassions. Even when it is icy-freezing outside, the boats are always toasty-cosy warm and have all the conveniences you need for an easy-going holiday. Visit www.amsterdam-houseboat.com or speak to Klaus on 0031.624207088.
