Amsterdam, the city

by tompt - last update: Sep 14, 2005

I was born in Amsterdam and lived there for the first 23 years of my live. Needless to say that i know Amsterdam is the best city in the world. Being from here i took it for granted and didn´t have much pictures from Amsterdam until the last weekend of January of 2002. Filip visited from Belgium and we showed him a small part of the city. This time we took a camera and shot some pics so i can finally build a page about the best city to be born in: Amsterdam.

Diana and José trying to raise enough money to pay
The meeting

And then came march 2004. Diana and José organised a meeting in toms favorite city. This was one we could not miss ;-)
And we are sure glad we didn't miss it, because it was another great meeting. Pictures are in the travelogues and with some tips.
enjoy the outdoor cafe, in the summer

And since then we took a camera more often and this page is expanding more and more.

Hope you enjoy it and find some usefull information about a great city.

We added some Amsterdam for free tips in the Must See sections, so you can save some money and see Amsterdam like the dutch (very cheap)

 Been coming to the Mooy since 1997. One of my favorite little places in A'dam. Love the location, the atmosphere & the staff. Small, but has a pool table & very few tourists...NICE!

 I did not specify that Cafe Mooy was the bar I was referring too. Joe and Janet Aitken ( now from TN.)
