The plan had been to have a final big holiday abroad before having children, but other commitments meant we ended up with a week-end in Paris, followed by one a month later in Amsterdam. But by the time we departed, I was pregnant. I had no problems with pregnancy, and no cravings, but managed to have an 'I don't fancy eating anything but an omelette' whilst in Paris, seemed rather a waste. But was fine in Amsterdam, raw mince sandwich, mussels on toast, no problem. I can't remember the main meals in detail now, but know they were enjoyable. But being pregnant I missed out on sampling any alcohol at all :( Didn't bother with Anne Frank, did go on a canal tour which was relaxing and interesting, and to a diamond merchant. He wouldn't buy me one. And the breakfast in the hotel was far more interesting and filling than the one in Paris (which was the basic croissant and coffee), in Amsterdam it was a range of cold meats and cheeses. You've probably gathered I preferred Amsterdam!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160676975248671764noreply@blogger.com
