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

I love your sketch, very nice. I am sure that you have many more nice sketches that you did whilst in Amsterdam.
Hello Christine! Very cute sketch :-)
Bring back memories of Amsterdam. I missed the Van Gogh Museum but later somone bought 3 nice prints from there for me, Sunflower, Self-Portrait and Irises. SL :)
Christine, I am back. Oh I love Netherlands been comming here again & again almost every year. Great tips on Amsterdam. :-)
Hi Christine, I have just booked a trip to Amsterdam for the third week of May. Really looking forward to it. I'll let you know if those Amsterdammertjes are still there.
I'm surfing through your travel sketches AND planning for my Amsterdam trip, Christine. Alles zehr schon so far :-)
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.
You have very helpful and accurate tips about Amsterdam. Next time I go there, I will follow most of your advices. Nice pages, too. :) Gokcecicek
Amsterdam :-))) I would love to go there...
