We spent the final day immersed in Dutch arts, culture and craft beer. Here is the NDSM, the super cool industrial ship building yards converted to arts exhibitions and studios.
NDSM stands for Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij it is located in North Amsterdam across a main water way so we had to take a ferry to get there.
Bubble letters!!!
Free museum.
Ever wish for a river cruise with all you can eat dutch pancakes? Well here you go!!
Oedipus Brewerij for a variety of craft brews and mapo fries. Both were lekker!
Back to our favorite locals pub in de Pijp, Brewerij Dopey’s Elixir, established in 1973.
And now it is time for the journey home.
Ever wonder what Iceland looks like from 40k feet above? Well here you go. You’re welcome.
This is Greenland from above. We know, we know. Why isn’t Greenland called Iceland and the Iceland called Greenland?
Here is the approach to PDX. Welcome home!!!
Here are the well worn treads on these brutalized travel shoes. We walked around 300 miles in the 7 weeks and Don wore a hole into one the shoe inserts.
Mau’s shoes, the ones you could hear “smacking” on some of the videos during the Camino and the trip. The rubber was separating from the shoe and when they got wet sounded like a toothless old lady smacking her gums. They were left behind in the hotel and Mau wore her flip flops home.
Home sweet home and the Jasmine and Asian Lillies are in bloom!!!
It smells wonderful in the backyard unlike our dirty shoes. 😜🤣😂
