For reasons that are beyond my comprehension, considering we always landed at Schiphol airport, I was blessed to witness the spectacle on my last visit.I can only recommend visiting Amsterdam. The flower market is something to behold, canal tours around the city I found enlightening and there are some really nice places to eat and chilled bars to quench your thirst and people watch. .....*Clears throat, big breath, final look towards the heavens*..... Meet me under the Lightening Tree and I'll tell you about the red light district and the coffee shops and adventures a humble sinner (now reformed) found there.Finally, the passage of time doesn't diminish the ghastly reality she faced at a tender age, she took it upon herself to document the daily ebb and flow of life whilst in their hiding place, Anne Frank wouldn't live to see her diary published and become more that she'd imagine. I made a point of visiting the museum that now sits where her hiding place was. Reason being that I thought it important to acknowledge  Anne Frank, to let her know that I heard what she was saying. Sobering but worth visiting The Anne Frank Museum.</blockquote>
