Going down a Dutch Canal

Within the past the past four days I have travelled to Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Amsterdam. Vienna was a drastic change from the mediterranean cities we had spent the past couple of weeks in. While in the city, we attended a Viennese Waltz concert, visited the royal palace of the Hapsburg dynasty, and ate Thai food in the main food market. From Vienna we travelled to Switzerland. The Swiss Alps were beautiful. It was funny to see signs in Hindi all over Mt.Titlis. Heck, it was funny to see old masis (aunties) climbing ice covered paths in saris. Germany, while brief, was worthwhile. Unfortunately, there was no time to go to Berlin. We did, however, take a cruise down the Rhine! After this short excursion we drove to Amsterdam. Right off the bat, I could tell everyone in my family liked the city. We wandered in the city center, took a canal cruise, and even (very briefly!) took a peek at the infamous red light district.
