Shopping
... for me and a pastrami sandwich for papa. Yummy! Then we crossed the Dam square where papa paused at the war memorial for a moment. We turned a corner into a pretty cool shopping street quite different from our shopping centres. We made a plan to first do all the stores on one side and the opposites side on the way back. This turned out to be really good as we could go back to some shops without having to walk down the whole street. Important when ...
Amsterdam again today
... in in the earlu 70's. apparently it looks not much different. When you see buildings built 300 -400 years ago you realize what a young country Canada is. This entry was supossed to be for wed, sept 26 but i guess I typed it after midnight so stick with me as I figure out this ...
Haarlem
Spent a relaxing day in the town of Haarlem (America's Harlem was named after this town when New York was New Amsterdam, a Dutch Colony). A smaller, quieter version of Amsterdam, this town is five miles from the North Sea. It was the tulip capital of Holland and an important manufacturing center. It sights include the Grote Market (Great Market) where 10 streets converge, making it the towns delightful centerpiece-as it has been for 700 years. We enjoyed ...
Amsterdam, Berlin
... interviews from her friends and family, models of how her house previously looked (purposefully left empty to represent the loss of the 6 million Jews in the Holocaust). Afterwards I browsed the Albert Cuyp and Waterlooplein Market, which carried everything and anything; second hand clothing, jewellery, dutch food, the list goes on, and finished my day at Vondelpark. It felt like the perfect balance of experiencing the history ...
It Was The Best of Times and The Worst of Times
... said there are 68 locks to go through on these three rivers before we get to Budapest. That's a lot of locks. We had dinner with some folks from Australia. Great people. There are a lot of Aussie's and New Zealander's aboard. Not sure why. We head for Cologne, Germany tomorrow. If all goes well, hopefully with new passports in hand. Luckily, we still have Sandy's iPad, so I can still blog. We're keeping a close eye on it!! More later....Dave & ...

“ Amsterdam ordinary accomodation ”
Reviewed Jul 2, 2011
The good... Near a tram stop. Near one end of Vondel park. Price average. Staff friendly. Nice coffee. Beds comfy. free mints at the counter Woohoo.
The bad... seemed to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere and beside busy road. Surrounds were desolate. Lots of construction about. Room small. Stairs, hall, room all smelled of cigarettes. Coffee and tea was short and not replenished. Room could have been cleaner. Was told to come back to the front desk in 15 minutes so i did not disturb the daily housekeeping meeting.
Make up your own mind.
I would stay closer to central Districts next time even if a bit more expensive.
