We made it to Amsterdam with no problems - not really a big challenge, but.....

We knew the name of our hostel but not the address. All we knew was that it is close to the red light district. Well, it wasn't close, it was in the heart of it! A little rough walking through with our packs on, but turned out to be fine, just a little overwhelming! It would have been so different if we had arrived during the day.

We got into the hostel and met up with the rest of our group - it was nice to see everyone! Everyone had already adventured around during the day and filled us in on the do's and don'ts!

Over the next few days we did the tourist things like canal tours, Museums, rented some bicycles and toured the streets and hit some parks. The race events went from Thursday night to Saturday night ending with the banquet.

We went to Rotterdam on Sunday - that was the highlight of this Amsterdam portion for me. We took a train there and wondered the streets. We took a tram around and went to a windmill, parks, etc. Much nicer place that Amsterdam from what we saw :)

Onto Munich now!
