Anne Frank House, Amsterdam

Anne Frank's house is at Prinsengracht 267 in Amsterdam. You can see the line outside. We got there when it opened at 9:00 AM and walked right in. I strongly recommend that. Here's their web site and here's their webcam.

There's an unforgettable statue on the sidewalk.

Amsterdam Royal Palace

Amsterdam Royal Palace is just down the Damrak from where we stayed in Amsterdam. Here's the wikipedia article.

Here's my picture of it.

Dam Square is across from the palace and there stands the National Monument.

Hotel Prins Hendrik, Amsterdam

On our way back from England and Wales in 2003, we spent the night at Hotel Prins Hendrik, Prins Hendrikkade 53, 1012 AC in Amsterdam. It's in that line of buildings facing the trees. Zoom out a couple of clicks and you'll see the canal and the Centraal Station. Here's their web site. Count the stars (***).

Chet Baker died there in 1988.

We took a cruise on the canals on one of these boats.

Usk, Wales

In 2003, we stayed at the The Glen-yr-Afon House Hotel in Usk, Wales. It is a wonderful place. Here's their web site. Scroll just a little to the South and see the narrow bridge over the River Usk. Here's an interesting site on this village. Here's my picture of it. Here's their web site and here's the wikipedia article on Usk.

There are a couple of good pubs here.

Salisbury Cathedral, UK

The Salisbury Cathedral has the tallest church spire in England. It also houses one of the four remaining copies of the Magna Carta. Here's the wikipedia article. Here's my picture of the cathedral. One of my favorite pictures is of a black cat sitting in the cloisters.
