Well yesterday was a real trip...NEVER stay at the HEM hotel !!!! Its horible. We are now at the Marriott and its great !! Its Friday morning here and not a cloud in the sky. Were just about to head to Dam Square and all the other "fun" parts of Amsterdam. Last night we went to the Hard Rock Cafe and strolled many streets and enjoyed the sights and sounds. The canals are really cool. I hope all is well back home ....Off to Italy tomorrow !!!

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands dallenogareWoke up this morning and the sun was still in bed! But we were on our way to the airport and to Amsterdam. We arrived at 8:25am so grab a train and headed into town. Everything was closed so we walked the 2 odd miles to our hotel and dumped our stuff there. On our way back into town we stopped off at a little bakery and grabbed some awesome goodies, walked through a flower market and along the canals. We finally made our way to Dam Square where our free walking tour started later that morning...

We were out and about until about 2:00 - a good day overall except for that you can't help but smelling like wee...

Bad pun-- fun visit.
Wow. Four days is the least anyone should spend here. I'd been here before almost 20 years ago, but I didn't get to spend much time here. We were up for about 28 hours before crashing hard at around 6 pm the first day we arrived. We woke back up around 4 am and then slept more until 10 am. Bingo-- we were on Euro time. The flight was long and cold-- we had the very last seats in the Lufthansa jet just in front of the gal...
