Amsterdam

While we were in The Netherlands last June we took the chance to go to Amsterdam as it was somewhere we’d never visited. It involved quite a long train journey, first on a swish kind of Inter-City double-decker train from Heerenveen to Zwolle, then a slower type of train called a Sprinter, which seemingly stopped everywhere between Zwolle and Amsterdam, including six stations in Almere alone!

The sprinter had decorations in the style of the artist Mondrian.

The walls of the toilet were also styled like Mondrian – see where corridor doglegs :-
