The Road to Nowhere

Yesterday, we decided to make a trip to a well-known pancake house here in Amsterdam. The TomTom led us to the edge of a park, where we did not see the pancake house. So, we went inside a restaurant to ask how to get there. They told us to take the path outside to the end, then turn right and it will be right there. They said it would be 10-15 minute walk.

OK, we figured Mason could probably handle walking 10-15 minutes, so we left towards the pancake house. Um, does this path look like 15 minutes?
No, it wasn't. Efe and I estimated it was about a 1.5-2 mile walk to the pancake house. It took us about 40 minutes to get there. We finally arrived, and we noticed parking just outside the pancake house, by the way >:-(
Mason walked most of the way, and Efe carried for a bit. We were in GREAT moods after our arrival, as evidenced in the following picture.
But, then we got our pancakes, and all was well again.
Mason got banana pancakes, his favorite as always. As you can see in the picture above, the pancakes here are not like our pancakes back home. They are very thin, more like a crepe without the filling, and they are covered with powdered sugar, with no syrup to be found.

I had banana chocolate pancakes...
