Radisson Amsterdam

... station at around 6pm and just had to laugh and curse. As it was just crazy. So many people everywhere. Now people say Amsterdam is crazy, but i dont think you can actually grasp it untill you see the city on a saturday night. Its crazy alright... ...

... not the idea.  And allegedly, there may be more tomfoolery.  Point is, I'm intimately familiar with outrageous.  But Amsterdam, takes the cake. We innocently walked into a gay bar.  And there is nothing wrong with being gay or gay ...

... next door to the passenger terminal.  It was chaos, the first time I have been on a cruise (Holland America, Princess, Radisson, Norwegian) that was so disorganized.  No one knew what was going on or where to leave your luggage, different ...

Exit the train, grab a few Euros', and let’s hit it. Right, that’s what I hope for.  Nope.  Christin takes a nap.  I take a run.  Went for a 5 mile run while Christin slept. I’ve got a fantastic contact buzz from ...

... usually do. I decide to wear orange today for the world cup finale and plus I want to be just like the other Hollanders in Amsterdam. We went to the red light district in Holland, were I brought other stuff too. After which, we went to the ...

... bread with butter. Later we went to a bowling alley.  This was a surprise for me because I wasn't expecting to fly to Amsterdam to bowl.  I bowled with the students for an hour and then in the next hour students started falling asleep from the ...

Today was a delightful surprise because this was my third visit to Amsterdam so | wasn't expecting much (plus there would be no visit to the Red Light District!), but we ended up doing a variety of activities that were all new to me.  It was ...

... at New York Steakhouse, which was not very good, but as always, lots of fun. The night ended at 1:00 AM back at the hotel, and we were beat.  A great day in Amsterdam was in the books, tomorrow, Prague, Czech Republic.  Gonna be ...

... gross. The first place we wanted to go was Anne Frank House. On the way we went through Dam Square, the center of Amsterdam. It's such a beautiful city. A lot more beautiful than I had imagined. I love how the canals intersect the city. The canal ...

... right now. Its new to me and i'm feeling right at home with the whole 'travel thing' and just loving life right now. Amsterdam, or should i say AMSTERAM!! has been so good. I love the city. The 10 euro transportation pass has been a waste of cash ...

Sausage, egg, chips and beans was lunch at Morrisons in Speke on the way to the airport. We decided it was better to eat there than pay £10 for something at the ...

... outgoing and incoming flights, it was otherwise a breeze. I was assigned seat 31H, a middle seat, on my return flight from Amsterdam to San Francisco, but a couple asked me to switch to the isle seat which I happily accepted with much gratitude. This ...

... frozen dinner I would have had at home, but the wine was absolute paint remover and I am no wine snob! Schiphol airport in Amsterdam is pretty amazing.  It is among the world's busiest and largest, but certainly not at the top of those lists, and ...

Finally made it to Stockholm airport after an 8-hr layover in Amsterdam.  The computer died after my last entry there but it decided to work again here at the hotel.  What a relief - I do like to be connected!  Was very glad I ...

... checked in. This meant we had the afternoon and evening to explore Antwerp. For me, it felt like a mixture of Krakow, Amsterdam (but without the canals) and Barcelona.    There was an excellent shopping high street and a historic centre ...

... rooms.  Who goes to Copenhagen for a convention?  We book ourselves an overnight (15 hours) train from Copenhagen to Amsterdam.  We reserve our "private room" but yet the movies do not prepare you for reality.  There were not stately ...

... and went to collect our bags, my bag not there, we spoke to service desk and they said bag was left behind in Amsterdam and it would be delivered to the hotel tomorrow morning. We then boarded a crowded bus from airport to Reykjavik Excursions depot then ...

... subject to a lot of the history of New York due to the dutch being first settled here, calling the whole island New Amsterdam. We learnt all about the Hudson river plane landing, ground 0 and the new developments, all about the various neighbourhoods. ...
