Only an hour north by train from Den Haag to Amsterdam, world famous for its canals, bicycles and liberal attitudes. We jumped straight onto a canal boat for a tour of the city's waterways before a bit of a walk around.
Leaving it late in the day in the hope that the queues would be shorter (they weren't), we lined up to go through Anne Frank's house. It's a moving experience, they have made the entrance and exit to the secret annex into a museum, and include a number of Anne's very poetic diary entries.
After a compulsory pancake for dinner and stop off back at the hotel to get dolled up, we hit the town. With it being our last night on tour, we were keen for a big night out, and Amsterdam didn't let us down.
We were only 10 mins late for our 11am checkout the following day, not bad really, but didn't really have the energy to do too much. A little walk around was all we managed before making our way to the airport for our flight back to London. And just like that our holiday was over, back to London for a night before flying to Dubai the following day for the start of our new lives.
