Mercure Amsterdam Aan Amstel4m

... at shoppe. De fede butikker har jo Day, Filippa K, Mads Nørgaard, Lee, Modström og Friis &amp; Company. Det bliver man lidt trt af, men min konto er nok meger glad for det...<br>For da jeg så var i Danmark, MÅTTE jeg jo ind til Brints efter et par fede støvler (tjek dem lige ud på billedet med cyklen!). Jeg er sikker på det er årets fedeste støvler, sammen med mine ridestøvler m. similisten. De bliver brugt flittigt, og det er godt med ridest ...

... museum, which is a sister museum to the one in St. Petersburg, Russia and houses an amazing collection of Russian royal art, dresses, artifacts, etc. I also had the chance to go to the Anne Frank house, which was a completely surreal experience. You can see the marks on the wall where her father marked the girls height as they were growing in hiding, the pictures Anne glued to the wall of Hollywood stars are still there... The ...

... and all over. <br><br>After roaming the streets dancing and drinking beer I met up with some egyptian girls and a local amsterdam native at a "koffehuis", or smoking cafe. We were all chillin, smoking, drinking you know, and it was this one girls first time ever smoking. She then proceeded to get sick and start puking in the canal - and getting ****** at us for making her smoke and get sick! In my opinion, judging from the large volume of ...

... trouble contacting our couch surfer for the next few days as pay phones here apparently eat your money without connecting your call. AND when is says ".10 MIN"it really means .10 per SECOND. Yes, we burned through a few Euros quite quickly without making any contact. However, a voice mail was left with Robert, our couch surfer host, with us cursing at the pay phone. Oops. <br><br>Robert was very helpful though and got us directions to his house. We ...

... our bikes on time. After seeing enough, we headed back to the city to switch hostels (we couldn´t get one for two nights). The second night, we stayed in Jordaan, a more upscale neighborhood than the Red Light District, where we stayed the first night. At 9pm we went back to centraal station (lots of exercise today) for an evening canal cruise. We were grateful for the relaxing ambience and informative narration. The city expanded in the 1600s ...

... brown baby goat. Then we ran through a garden maze - which was surprisingly easy - and Jenn climbed on a set of stairs over a pond. This place is really trying to be the family Disneyland! Except that looking at the crowd, you wouldn't think so... it was all retired folks. Seriously. We were one of the only non-white-haired folks in the house. Not only did the retirees love the place... so did every other visitor to Holland right now ...

... has been there since the 1600´s. Oh and the oldest working woman in the district is 73, ewwww. As we were walking through the area at 11am, there were definitely women still in the windows. Our tour took us through a lot of the canal area giving us a good view of the city. Amsterdam is very beautiful. Tons of little Dutch houses crammed together all leaning in different directions because of all the water and land movement. But they intentionally built the houses leaning ...

... Sehorn. We did "Ya Ya," "Lottie Mo," all those old Lee Dorsey songs when I was like 14 years old, 15 years old. The Meters wasn't even nowhere near coming into play, you know? Then Toussaint met up with Marshall and I started doing a lot of sessions, not only for Lee Dorsey, but for a lot of other people. I did a lot of songs with Ernie K-Doe, "Mother-In-Law" and stuff like that. The Meters didn't come into play until ...

... the youth hostel the first night. The house-boat bed&amp;breakfast we stayed at before catching our flight back to the US was really cute. It is more expensive than a hostel but chaper than a hotel, I would definetly stay there again. Although I would rather go out to the countryside or other cities next time I pass through the Netherlands.
