Family in Town

My lovely cousin Rachel probably has the best boyfriend in the world. This year he surprised her with tickets from Sydney to Paris on Christmas eve. He wins, right? After Paris they went to Barcelona and Florence and then swung by Amsterdam for a short hello. We met them this morning on the Noordermarkt for a play on the swings and a coffee at the Prinsen Eiland bar, where I take all my Australian tourists to blow their minds by drinking in a pub that's over 350 years old.
