Undeniably gorgeous but during a Canal cruise you can see the city in a whole different light while on our Canal tour we were able to see the beautiful facades of stately Canal houses gliding past us and the most beautiful areas of Amsterdam we saw all of the City highlights from churches Towers gorgeous
17th century Canal houses from the Dutch Golden Age houseboats cute Bridges and yes the red Light District even if you’re not into typical touristy things seeing the city on a Canal tour is an absolute must when you’re visiting Amsterdam this was a relaxing 75 minute tour that was well worth the money
Behind our boat in a moment we see a tall tower over there it’s called the atam Tower with the white pill on top and if the white pill is is SW off the edge so he the moners only P 20 years ago underne the swing is a square floor
That is a special restaurant because if you go to toet there and go back to your table it will be a different place because it’s a restaurant on the right side we see the old headquarters of the East Indian company in the past you could buy a ticket there
To make a vote open in 1984 and on opening day this restaurant actually sank what happened they packed the restaurant forward with the Mex capacity about 800 people but it didn’t take into account that Dutch people are a lot taller and heavier than Chinese people so it sank to make the restaurant become
Float again they let 150 Chinese people leave the restaurant they gave them a corner with food inside and that’s how a Chinese takeway came to be the top floor is the most expensive one because you have the most time to finish meal in case sinks other part of the story why this
Restaurant sank because this restaurant is a replica of the original restaurant called jumbo jumbo Watch Tower Defence Tower of the T the tour of the all down be expensive was called the C Tower because this this used to be as you can see we have a lot of big boats here in
Amsterdam but we don’t just call them boats we call them house boats because people live in them throughout the whole year even the winter how the house Bo came to be there was a shortage of housing in the past in them so people with without house did
They took in Old F and car ship like these in in the 60s and 70s and made house Boards out of them they were not legal at the time they were not officially as home by the Govern government they had no address no house number no electricity no running water
No s system no heating now they all do and now they’ve all been legalized because it’s a must in the government to have all of that they like the concept of house so much they decid to make more of them left hand side we see this rectangular house
Boat like a real house on water not not an actual ship there’s comete Foundation onne that Foundation inside Hollow fill with air and that’s how it’s able to stay a float and change the walls of the canal as well now it’s not cheap to live in the house boat the cheapest smallest house
