A swanky-looking establishment with posh cars and uniformed staff. | |
|
A less prestigious place to crash, possibly with a Scottish connection. Maybe the staff uniform is a Jimmy hat like those sold in tacky tourist shops in Edinburgh. (The ones I've seen have had shorter hair than in the above link.) | |

More architecture from the town. At one of the old town squares the presence of a branch of McDonalds made us head back to the railway station with unpleasant thoughts about globalisation. | |

The view from the Nemo pier across Oosterdok to Dijksgracht and IJhaven. The gleaming whiteness of the Costa Europa luxury cruise liner makes sunglasses a must for onlookers. | |
|
There's some great views from the top of Nemo. This view features St Nicolaas Church at top left, and the Sea Palace floating Chinese Restaurant and the Amstel Botel, both moored in Oosterdok. Centraal Station is partially visible at the right of the picture behind the below-water-level building site. | |
|
The S116 road leads north from Valkenburgerstraat and ducks under Nemo and into the IJtunnel before emerging again in the Noord district. Prins Hendrikkade is the road at the back of the picture. | |
|
You can sit here on the Wim T Schippers Upperdeck to admire the view, or you can have a coffee in the café at the top. Visit the Nemo website for information in Dutch language. | |

A closer look at the cascade of water running down the roof. Underneath is the interactive Science Museum where "You can experiment with technology, science, ICT and bio and behavioural sciences". The building was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano. |
