It was our first time on the German autobahn, and it was exciting! Not to mention, you are allowed to have open containers in your car (the driver should not be drinking though), so I got to enjoy some beer on the way. The trip took us almost 8 hours! The traffic was insane and the road works did not help.
We quickly learned that parking inside the city is NOT an option unless you want to pay 50€ or more per day. Therefore we parked outside of the city and took the tram to our hotel.
Without spending an arm and a leg, you are not going to end up in a nice place in Amsterdam. Small and moldy would be the best description, but it worked for what we needed.
I was certainly most surprised by the beauty of Amsterdam. I had only heard about the parties, but there is SO much in Amsterdam outside of partying. Walking the canals, people watching, architechture gazing, and market shopping are some of my favorite activities.
This is the view from our window.
Where's Bilbo?
Another benefit of going in ugly and cold weather is there are NO tourists and everything is MUCH cheaper.
This is no lie.
Our favorite place in Amsterdam to sit down for a coffee was definitely the Bluebird cafe.
The layout of Amsterdam is SO confusing to navigate without looking at your map every five seconds. We spent the majority of our time lost. This picture pretty much explains everything.
THE MOON. This explains our last night.
Goodbye Amsterdam... we will be back.
