Day two

A day of loads of walking. We covered most of the centre of Amsterdam.Starting off heading up to a tattoo parlour for a look (hopefully there'll be more about that later in the week as with luck I'll get a walk in appointment on Saturday) on the west of the city, then up to the flower market, followed by a visit to Chinatown on the east of the city before a meandering walk back south to our hotel. We must have covered a good few miles throughout the day.

Aside from looking in numerous shops for stuff for Maddy what we mainly did was eat, from lots of fantastic cheese samples, from fairly traditionally dressed locals as you can see, to chinese for lunch to the best burger I've ever had at a place called Lombardos which came highly recommended on tripadvisor.

By the time we get home I will probably have gained about a stone...
