    Day 1

    May 28, 2023 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    First day we did a tour around Amsterdam and found out the basics we needed to know. Where to shop and what ATMs not to use. If you want a coffee you need to go to a Cafe not a Coffee shop as Coffee shops is where you get the Brownies with a extra kick. We had lunch in a little pub, found a hidden garden and just got our bearings. Had a drink in the Hotel bar and then dinner in the Hotel restaurant. We were in bed by 6.00 after a long flight and a busy dayRead more

    May 29, 2023 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We walked to Jordaan which is the Restaurant district.
    We went to the Tulip Museum, the Cheese Museum, the Markets where I bought a little bag. We had lunch in a beautiful old building that they had turned into a Brassiere. We went Anne Francs house, saw lots of decorated bikes and Coffee in a little Cafe by a Canal. We got lost lots of time but it didn't really matter as we got to see lots of things that we wouldn't probably have see if were weren't lost. We did see the Cannabis Museum but didn't venture in, the smell on the streets was enough.Read more
