day 5 - market & canal boats

The weather has warmed up quite a bit; though it is breezy and cool in the shade. A perfect day for heading to a huge open market where we browsed the clothes, food, and a myriad of local products & more food! From here we headed up to Central Station to check out the 'cat boat' which is a canal boat which serves as a homeless shelter for cats. Weird...

Along the way, we saw a couple houses whose claim to fame is the fact that they are exactly 1.0 and 1.5 meters wide.

The latter is actually a restaurant. Also weird, but fun. From here we grabbed some lunch at competing falafel shops, grabbed a dozen Heinekens and jumped on a canal boat tour; fun fun!

We split up after this; Robyn and Kora heading back towards the apartment, and the rest of us finding a quick cafe' and a tour of the Torture Museum.

The parents had a canal walking date at night while us kids jumped out of Alicia's bedroom window and hung out on the roof of our house, watching the night fall on our village-like neighborhood. Wednesday will be a break from the back-to-back schedule before we're back at it again on Thursday. Photos coming as they offload and process... Back to sunshine and coffee!
