Amsterdam was a beautiful, diverse city. I spent 3 days here in a botel (boat + hotel). The first day I was awake for at least 36 hours because I didn't sleep on the plane and I only slept 3 hours the night before. I loved walking through Amsterdam. The people were friendly and the bike riders will curse you out if you get in their lane. The fries and fritessaus is something like you've never had before. The Redlight District is real, but sad. There were tons of bikes, museums, canals. I absolutely loved the cafes (not the ones you might be thinking). It was one of my favorite things about Europe. You stroll into a cafe, sit wherever, get a coffee and pastry, and sit for as long as you want. There is no rush to pay and leave. I feel like we don't have enough of these types of places in America. My dream is to open up my own cafe here.
Some pictures to highlight the places I visited in Amsterdam
The Botel- I was standing where the ferry comes and takes us into the city. Sometimes you can feel the botel rock. It would stink if I got sea sick.
The Group + EEF: A couple of people were cut off. :(
Bike Rack: Hundreds of bicycles.
