James Wattstraat 75 Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands, 1097 DL, 20-665-1171
We caught a train from Brugge to Amsterdam (bus, train, train, tram, taxi actually) Here we stayed in a big hotel - Casa 400 It was okay (I did have pretty low standards after Brugge though), clean, quiet at night, pretty good buffet breakfast included. Amsterdam was a bit nicer than I thought it would be (not as nice as Brugge but okay). There are lots of canals which are fairly pretty - the weather was a bit overcast and it rained a bit so that didn't really help. The first afternoon we had...
Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands alicebzMy first impression of Amsterdam was that of a weekend Vegas-like cruiseline for Europeans aged 18-60 years old. As somewhat of a last-minute trip, with my cousin in Paris having backed out at the last moment, I arrived in the city by train after passing through the remarkably green and clean-cut grass fields of Belgium, only to find at the tourist office that no hostels had any room for that night. Very angrily and reluctantly, I booked a room for a hotel five Metro stops away from the touri...
Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands salerhandFrom Berlin to Amsterdam, we see the obligatory traditional windmills which signify we are entering the Netherlands. We are told that Holland is not the correct name of the country we are visiting, but that Holland is an area within the Netherlands which gained international prominence, and became synonymous with the country itself. The country is the most densely populated of all European countries, but that is not obvious to the casual observer, as we pass acres and acres of green fields wi...

Toch nog mijn eerste berichtje schrijven op m'n pas gemaakte travelblog. <br>Ik ben nu op mijn vliegtuig aan het wachten in AMS. Het is best wel spannend om voor lange tijd naar Zuid-Amerika te trekken. De eerste bestemmingen liggen ongeveer vast, maar wat daarna volgt blijft een raadsel (helemaal in de geest van Bert ;-) ). Het lot, en de kansen die ik onderweg tegenkom zullen mijn route bepalen.<br>Alleszins, ... Wim en Lieselotte, ... morgen kom ik jullie in Liberia opzoeken...<br>
Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands bertstravel... and Ride, which was recommended because parking in Amsterdam is supposedly nearly impossible and very expensive.<br><br> We hopped on the subway and arrived at our hostel around 8:30pm, ate at a cute little Dutch restaurant, then called it a night.<br><br>Tomorrow, we hope to hit a few museums, take a canal ride, and tour the red light district...<br><br> <br>
Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands travelswitz... tram station, then a tram into Central Station. Hired some bikes from Mac Bikes - groovy 'nanna' type bikes (backpedal for brakes), and set off to explore the city. Had lunch in a park by one of the canals. Rode to the Van Gough museum and had a good look 'round inside. Then rode over to Anne Frank's house, for very interesting and moving tour. Chain on Michelle's ...

Amsterdam, Netherlands jv3117... way there but didn't have enough time to really check anything out. Still it was kind of neat. I had an amazing time in Amsterdam and am just at eager to get back there as the other places I've visited. I kept thinking about Janet Fitch's passage from White Oleander where she desribes being in Amsterdam, eating raw hamburger with onion and singing, "yippee-yi-yo-yippee-yo-ki-yay, git along lil' doggies....". She has it right, somehow that seemed to fit the moment :) Love, Anna
Amsterdam, Netherlands anna_rochelle... bus we made our way on foot towards Dam Square to our hotel.<br><br>Our hotel is lovely, right at the action near the square with a fantastic room and heaps of facilities (including a gym which is great since we have consumed way to many carbs) - thanks Mum & Dad Worsley, oh and our surprise was yummy! Since it was quite late by the time we arrived, after we settled into our room, we cleaned up and headed out into ...
Amsterdam, Netherlands suzandtrent... We dropped off our bags and headed off for some FOOD. <br>Italian food in Amsterdam The food in Amsterdam was average at best. And our first meal of pizza and pasta set the pace. Average. So to make up for it we went off in search of the market. We walked for ages on cobblestone footpaths, over foot bridges, past the canals and pretty ...
