Another slow morning at the Dixon house. It feels good not to have any big plans today. We want to be rested up for Queens Day tomorrow, the celebration of Netherland's Queen Mothers birthday.
After breakfast we head out to do some biking. Deb and Elle stay home to catch up on some homework and housework. Paul and Maya jump on his bike, Sue & I hop the tram and we meet down at the Leidseplein to rent some bikes.
Amsterdam is made for biking. But if one doesn't know what they're doing it could be a bit dangerous. Paul gives a quck lesson on Amsterdam biking rules and we're off. What a great time. We stop for lunch on a canal in the Jordaan neighborhood, visit a cheese shop, and then head to Vondelpark to meet up with Deb & Elle.
The sky's are threatening to rain, so we decide to head back to Hotel Dixon. I need to return my rental tonight so I head back to the bike rental with Paul while Sue, Deb and the girls head home. Paul drops me off at the rental store and heads home. I plan to hop a tram home. But instead I walk. I know there will be more beer to walk off.
Tomorrow - Queens Day!!!
