Give Fred a cigar!
Not Amsterdam, but you have the right country.
The next mural I was going to post was of a windmill.

I'm not sure if Tom is saying I was close enough with Amsterdam so I'll wait to be sure.

Sorry Fred not close enough with Amsterdam... But it is a 40 minute bus ride from Amsterdam
It is not Rotterdam either... wrong direction from Amsterdam

I will answer question two just to blow you away...
The murals are made from cigar bands... In fact 11.5 million of them.
Following WWII cigars became available again this gentleman started gluing the bands together to make these amazing walls in his house.
Later the walls were transferred to this town's museum.

Well, a strict guess is Utrecht and I have no idea where it is relative to AMS.

This location is N NE of Amsterdam

Indeed it is... You are getting close!
South of the N307 what I would call a Markermeer causeway, but I am not sure of the real name.

Darn - I can't think of any place without having to resort to Google Maps, apart from Hoorn.

Not Gouda
Edam is the next town.. and is just minutes away from the right answer

This town as I said earlier usually on the day trip circuit from Amsterdam.
On the sea and beautiful.
The town does have a small museum you pass as you walk into town that has the cigar rooms, and wonderful collection of traditional clothing, and great collection of stuff from the Dutch resistance

I used these pics so next time one is in Amsterdam and take the day trip they will stop by the museum

Not even getting a guess based on this edifice, so I'll try another picture. This one is my first attempt using Paint and I don't know if I painted everything or if it can be undone by viewers.

I'll see if this is any help. Remember, I'm looking for the city/town.

Hmmm - we saw the boat from the movie, Key Largo, in Islamorada several years ago. It was made by the same builder as Hemingway's boat but looks a little different. But the other photos don't look like Islamorada so I don't think that's correct.

Is Hemingway's actual boat in Cuba?

Swlfty, I asked for a city/ town but I consider Cuba close enough. Yes, the boat is at his house in Cuba in the outskirts of Havana. You are up.

There were several boats in the Keys allegedly in the movie, including one in the now closed Ziggys in Islamorada. A great place where the menus were all verbal and the food fantastic!

I've been there and on mostly sunny days that color is reflected in the cloud base. Unfortunately, I can't think of the island chain.
