The Canal

Amsterdam is famous for its canals which could be seen everywhere. They form a maze, criss-crossing each patches of dry lands at regular patern. Nowadays these dry lands are well integreted by bridges and they do not seem to look isolated anymore.

Here are some photos we took in Utretch today. There is only one main canal that run through the centre of city. The canal though seems to be sitting deeper compare to the road level. Unlike Amsterdam, Utretch is very much a properly elevated land above sea level. But one thing that is the same is the number of bikes parked along its banks, seems to be everywhere.

We found the city of Utretch itself is not as interesting as Amsterdam or even our city The Hague. Because there are less international companies or foreigners living here, the shops and restaurants seem to only cater for the local populace. Nonetheless it was quite interesting just to walk along the canal and around the city centre today.
