... I don't quite know what to think of this place

We spent three days in Amsterdam
and did a good bit of sightseeing -

there were things, that I absolutely enjoyed (like spending some time at a canal and doing some sketching - so peaceful and relaxing) - but then there were things, that I absolutely hated, like the red light district and everything that goes along with it!

I will try to introduce my impressions of Amsterdam here and thinking about it, I believe,
that it will turn out to be a quite positive page!

    Amsterdam is certainly a beautiful city and one i would love to visit one day. I love the photo of the bikes being dragged from the canals.

    Yeah, a lovely place. All night long everybody was giggling hysterically, playing drums and smoking. The toilet and shower facilities were in disgusting condition and the campsite is in a pretty weird neighbourhood. Cannot recommend to anyone.
