I like gummy bear | i love gummy bear | gummy bear song english

Day four started with breakfast at Grebroeder Niemeijer (for the second time during our stay - it was that good) where we got to see how croissants are made. We then had a browse in a great toy shop called Mechanisch Speelgoed , which was full to the rafters of wonderful old tin toys. We also checked out the kids section of the public library, Oba , which was such a great and inviting library, not like the intimidating and unwelcoming British Library we have here. What a stay we had! So varied, such great food, scenery and company. If we one day tire of London I know where we're moving.

Can you ride a bike without holding onto the handlebars? At 38 I still can't. The hubby can though - and with a child on the back too it turns out. Nutter! In the afternoon of our third day we cycled back to Vondelpark, and then later rode through the city and made our way to Eye ,  the gorgeous film museum/cinema - such a wonderful building. We didn't really check it out properly though; we only went there for some mighty fine cakes and madeleines (soooooo good, you must go if you go to the 'Dam). Actually the food was pretty amazing everywhere we ate in Amsterdam. You can't really tell, as I didn't take any pictures of any of the food - I was too busy eating it. Besides, seeing people taking pictures of their food in the restaurants all the time these days (which I've been guilty of many times over the years) makes me want to hide my camera now. So I give you a tea bag instead - haha! Our last blow out meal was at Rainarai , which was just amazing. A-mazing. M

A snack before a late breakfast. No 100 Haarleemerdijk. Spying. Making nice. Getting ready to wave at a passing canal boat.

Original song based on the traditional 3 bears tale Lyrics: My porridge was hot it was barely done So I went out for a walk with my wife and son It was a lovely day walking along We are the three bears and this is our song A little girl came and she tried the lock She opened up the door and she didn't stop She saw some porridge and took a bite Too hot, too cold and one just right Whos been eating all my porridge? Whos been eating all my porridge? Whos been eating all my porridge? It's that little girl... Goldilocks She was tired, she was full so she took a seat Took a big sigh and rested her feet Too hard, too soft and one just right But it broke right up and gave her a fright! Whos been sitting in my chair? Whos been sitting in my chair? Whos been sitting in my chair? It's that little girl... Goldilocks She ran upstairs and found three beds She snuggled on up and lay down her head Too hard, too soft and one just right She closed her eyes and said good night Who's been

Some pictures from our second day in Amsterdam, in the order they were taken. We started the day at Nemo  ( the Science Centre) where we had fun making huge bubbles. Then we had some lunch at Dwaze Zaken   where I took the picture of the chairs (like you do). We then got on a canal boat for a tour around the canals of the city, something I thought Oomoo would enjoy (he didn't - he got bored pretty quickly) and then made the obligatory pit stop for some apple pie at Winkel   (if you go to Amsterdam I implore you to go - it's so goooooood). Finally we had some amazing thai food for dinner at Kinnaree , where I snuck the picture of the woman matching the wall behind her :)
