Amsterdam, canal tour<br> Western Europe picture - Many tour boats ply the numerous canals of Amsterdam. Great way to see and get oriented to the city. There are 50 miles of canals, and 1000 bridges. The city itself is built in a marsh. Houses are on pilings driven down to firm ground. As the pilings settle, the houses tilt slightly ever which way. Note the cars: there is one a week that has to be fished out of the water.
