Amsterdam We found this nice campground just 8kms out of the city centre where we stayed for a couple of nights. The first day we caught the bus in and had a look around. We decided to take on of the canal boat tours first up. The tour takes you around the inner city via the canal systems. it's a little bit like Venice.

We've had a small change of plan. As I am having trouble with the extreme heat Peter has suggested that we go north rather than south and into blinding heat. So we are heading north east through France. Have found two beautiful lakes today, a much larger Queenstown kind of place and this smaller lake, where we are camping, where we will investigate the surrounds tomorrow.

Only 6 in the "herd" and they are housed at night, they seem happy and are in very good c...

We spent three hours inside the property. It is beautifully presented. The foals are born black and ...
