This was the cutest animal at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam, a few-weeks-old giraffe. It's a beautiful old zoo, with only a few of each animal, but it's been involved in breeding rare & endangered species for decades. We got to see a great show as they fed the California sea lions.
The zoo was one stop on the canal tour of Amsterdam. We apparently got on on the wrong side of the boat, as two of the captains/guides didn't say much or explain where we were going or even follow the route on the map, and one of them even hit a bridge! The middle guide of the three was very entertaining but we were only with him for a few minutes before we got to the zoo. He had the honor of piloting one of the boats carrying the Dutch football team through the canals after they returned from South Africa.
We had dinner overlooking one of the canals and all the people on the street.
