COMING FROM AMSTERDAM AND SURROUNDING

by mcb - last update: Sep 18, 2004

Me on a windmill camp

Zaanse Schans
First day we travel to North Amsterdam.
We hired a car and we drive up to the dam (the old one), on the way we stopped in Zaanse Schans and others amazing villages in Netherlands.
This day I was with my husband after he had business and I traveled by myself.
The Channels – and tour boats

My travel

My trip Amsterdam and surroundings was summarized to 5 enormous days walking myself through the city, and surrounds, by foot, by car, by train, by tram,by bus, by metro, by boat or canalbike.

Amsterdam makes possible all these means of moving ourselves quickly around the city.
And I didn't try the other way of moving... the bicycle. Very crazy ride for me.

Bicycle Park in Central Station

This parking park impressed me not for his end but for his size.
Even knowing about the existence of a lot of bicycles in Amsterdam I had never imagined so many bicycles in a place.

They are all over the city, the country. People ride fast and crazy. First I couldn't guess from where they were coming and I could have been hasty by bicycles many times.
