Canals, narrow buildings, and cafes

by Bilimari - last update: Jun 13, 2005

The First Visit

I took a bus trip from Brussels to Amsterdam. The guide spoke in 4 different languages fluently. (He looked a bit like Jean Reno.)

On the way to Amsterdam, we visited wooden shoe factory and cheese factory. We had a lunch at the restaurant right next to the wind mill. It was nothing but a tourist trap, but actually, I enjoyed it. Everthing made me feel like I'm in one of the kid's story books.

The town of Amsterdam was very busy with people, tram, and bicycles. I spent 2~3 hours for a canal ride, but I should've rented a bicycle and headed to the Van Gogh museum instead!!!

The Second Visit

I flew in from London, and took a train to Amsterdam city centre.
This time, I did go to the Van Gogh Museum, and a few other museums. In Amsterdam, you'll see a museum in every block, along with nice restaurants, cafes, and the best of all, beautiful canal view.

 Sounds great, I'd really like to go sometime and not just to visit the coffee houses. My friend went bicycling there for days and really loved it.
