Little did we know when we arrived in Amsterdam that we would be bringing the snow with us and, by doing that, we would bring everything to a standstill! The Netherlands received its first major snowfall of the season on the day we arrived. That snow caused the biggest traffic jam in the history of the Netherlands - one that was reported on the news as being 888km in length. That's incredible, especially when one considers that the distance from the north to the south is approximately 250 km. Because Joost got caught in that traffic jam on his way to pick us up, we got an extra hour to walk around Amsterdam in the morning. Here are some pictures we took during that walk.
