Amsterdam, Those were nice days.
Amsterdam, the way they pronounce it .... it's soo Dutch :)
Actualy it comes from "Amstel Dam" or A Dam on the River Amstel, the name is about 734 years old.
The city is clean and beautifuly designed with arcs of canals surfing the whole city center, a certain architecture design prevails. bicycles are all over the city, you will sometimes find multi story parking for bicycles and special side road lanes, you will be pretty much pleased just walking around and watching tourists with maps and normal traffic in the roads & canals.
You will also find a big collection of musems as well, museum for everything like arts, history, Writers ...etc. they are too many that they use "M" on the map for museums not for Metro, so i was using the map the first day logically thinking that "M" is for Metro, imagine what happened :)
Everything is legal in Amsterdam, that's why you will find many tourists who just come for the other stuff ;) and i don't think they are interested in the history of the city :)
Amsterdam is also the name of the ship in the above picture... well... that's the 1:1 replica, as the original one wrecked many years ago.
Some of the places we visited were: Madam Tussauds wax museum, was fun :) also The Amsterdam Dungeon, and that was 'Creepy'. as well as the NEMO Science museum which was interesting. And of course you can not miss the canal boat trip, quiet a nice experience, I even enjoyed the cold weather.
Highly Advisable to visit.
You can have a look on the Pics Here.
