Amsterdam - 2014
We are our way to Girona, Spain to celebrate our friend Rich's 60th Birthday. On the way we decided to take a few days in Amsterdam to take in the bike culture and other things that Amsterdam has to offer.
Our stay was at the Time Hotel in the Jordaan area. We stayed near here before. The Jordaan is quiter than many other places in the city. The first stop was at Pott Change to exchange our USD to Euros. I read where the exchange rate here is far better than probably anywhere else.
We spent much of our time bicycling around the city. We went mainly south and west and we almost always had particular agenda or course in mind. We did take in Vondel Park, the Albert Cuyp Market, and Waterloopien Market while on the bikes. There were two museums that we visited, Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, both worthwhile. ProTip - buy your tickets at your hotel. It was the same price, but we saved about 30 minutes getting in.
