Amsterdam Canal Cruise

After we toured the Anne Frank house, we took a canal cruise on one of the many canal boats here. The tour went up and down the canals of Amsterdam and gave us an opportunity to see many different areas of the city that would have been difficult to get to on foot. Because of the many canals that traverse the city, Amsterdam truly is a city of bridges. The canals are very narrow, and the canal boat seemed to have difficulty maneuvering at times, especially around corners and through the narrow openings under the bridges. The canal cruise was an enjoyable way to see the city.
