My final week in Europe- Netherlands, France

So after my journey from the northern countries, I headed towards my last stops, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Paris! I even spent a whole day in Disneyland Paris! before finally ending my trip and flying home to Canada
I visited a friend in Utrecht and this was the view walking around town.
In Amsterdam, the Grasshopper is one of the more famous places to go
but I didn't have time to go on this trip.

One of the more famous coffeeshops, particularly because
they filmed one of the Oceans Elevens here.
This is the metro stop I frequently used while I was in Paris, Les Goblins.  As
my hotel was just around the corner from here
One of the many canals there in Amsterdam.  This one in particular is right
in the heart of the Red Light district.
The amount of cheese and wine they had in Paris was overwhelming!
I could have survived off those 2 for a really long time.
So I planned a trip to Disneyland Paris which was amazing
especially because they were celebrating the 20th anniversary of
Disneyland Paris
The famous Venus statue in the Louvre.
If not the famous painting in the world, the Mona Lisa,
it was quite small but easy to find because of the massive amount
of tourists flocking to it.
Me in Disneyland!  I t was one of the last places I went too, and it
was the perfect end to an amazing trip.
The Eiffel tower, surprisingly I didn't go up it.  But I got some really
great shots around it.  (I'm coming back anyways)
My friend recommended me coming to this place in Amsterdam,
it apparently has really great apple pie and I concur
The train ride from Amsterdam to Paris
Chocolate...yum.
One of the few universities in Amsterdam.  That girl by the way was my
tour guide, from Sandemans free walking tours.
The Notre Dam cathedral.  I only spent a little time in Paris
so I only really did the touristy things.  But I am confident in my
life that I will be back for a much longer period of time.  
The little version of the famous 'I Amsterdam' sign.  Apparently
the guy who created this was also the guy responsible for the
I <3 NY campaign/logo.
