DAY 8

Tuesday 19 July 2011

Deborah drove us into the city center to shop and look around. We wound our way to the Amsterdam Dungeon Show, a "horrible history brought to life," where Charles, Benji and Paolo were unwillingly snatched as audience participants. We especially liked the pirate in a pub pick-up scene.

Seriously dangerous!
We met Herman for drinks at the famous Cafe Luxembourg, then to dinner at Casa di David, in the building where Herman (whose father was named David) was born and grew up. The food was fabulous but even more impressive was when Herman showed us the water-level doorway where he saw the Beatles pass close by on a publicity canal ride in 1964. How many can claim that? After dinner on the drive home, Herman gave us the Amsterdam by night tour.

Amsterdam has great street art!
