After 3 hours in Amsterdam, we were sold. Definitely one of the cooler cities of the trip so far. The fact that everyone rides their bike everywhere, along fairly flat streets, over the canals, is one of the best parts of the city. Definitely one of the best ways to travel around a city, and as the locals say, within 15 minutes you are anywhere you want to be. A 20 minute bike ride is a long journey for them. And that is in the largest, best city in The Netherlands. Very impressive.
We had 3 days in the city, exploring the city streets, searching for the windmills (all out of the city center now), trying on wooden shoes, seeing some of the best art from the country and enjoying the city view from a canal boat with the locals. It was great to see old friends in the city. From my Dutch mates, Martijn and Joren, to American friends Alex and Jon, it was great to catch up and hear their stories from their travels and life in Holland. Good times!
