Amsterdam Adventures

Amsterdam

Yaay! We're here!
I went to Amsterdam for a four day weekend (?!) trip in March 2003. This was my first time to visit Amsterdam; I had high expectations of this city, and it didn't disappoint.
Herengracht meets Prinsengracht

Canal Life

Amsterdam is popular for many reasons: the red light district, a tolerant attitude to hard drugs, picturesque canals and interesting architecture, to mention a few. My favourites were the picturesque canals and interesting architecture. Honest!

Travel Companion

My birthday coincided with this trip, so every second sentence was 'As it's my birthday, can we.....'.
Just as well I have a patient girlfriend!

Cons:"Very touristy, half of London seems to visit every weekend!"

 Glad you rented bikes. I want to do that, too. I'm going to Amsterdam in May for a few days -- really looking forward to it.
