How to use your money & time wisely?

What would you do if you have eight hours stop over in Schipol Airport waiting for your connecting flight to Israel?

Would you go out and explore the city or just stay in the airport?<br>
On June of 1987, I familiarized the city of Amsterdam for a week, I fell in love. Then I didn't realize I could do it in just a few hours, in the fall of 1992.

What could be wrong If I tour the city for a few hours? I supposed nothing but stories to tell and the fun and excitement I'd experience.

By train, from Schipol Airport to Grand Central Station is only half hour. It is imperative to pick up a train schedule from the ticket booth, so you can estimate your free time and of course, your money.

Trains run on time. And round trip ticket is less expensive.
