We came across a horse carriage during our walk in Amsterdam and decided to go for a horse carriage ride.

Horse Carriage in Amsterdam

The name our carriage man was Gerald and he was very pleasant and helpful.

We climbed aboard and enjoyed the slow ride through the streets of Amsterdam.

Gerard took us along some less traveled areas and would stop at times and explain the history of the area.

We came across some beautiful views along our travels.

We asked Gerard if he could recommend a good restaurant for us. He recommended a Restaurant called “Five Flies”. We asked him to drop us off at the restaurant when we were done and he was happy to accommodate us.

We entered the restaurant and were immediately amazed by the uniqueness of the restaurant. The building was full of character and had five different separateĀ areas. We were brought down a small hallway and to our table.
