Amsterdam Brief.
Ok people here is the brief on amsterdam. Arrived in amsterdam on Thursday evening driving. Stayed in a hotel in the west end of the city. Nice place. TulipInn. Just two of us drove down. After grabbing a bite in an incredible italian restaurant, we went to check out the night scene. Spent until 4 am walking around the central station (only drinking) and its neighborhoods. Bar hopped like 4 times including one 'politically incorrect bar'. It was fun. Lot of dancing and partying was going on. We were told that the real parties happen about 5-6 kms away in another area but we were happy with the sights and sounds of the central station area :-). The sights of the 'window girl' was one of awe. Although you know what to expect from such places, there always is an element of surprise (and in this case 'Quality' was the surprise). Temptations weren't good enough !
Friday afternoon was spent at Vangough museum and walking around the city. It was good fun. We also took a cruise in the canals. Two guys on a cruise is no fun. So we decided to make it a photo op. Clicked a ton of pictures. It is amazing how the city is connected through these water ways. Reminded me of the city of new orleans for some strange reason. Dinner again at the same italian restaurant and a 'show'. This show is not for children. It was an onstage live show. It was wierd to watch it. The "smoking sandra" show was lets say interesting.
Slept half day, checked out....walked around a little bit and left on saturday night. So as you might notice nothing much happenned. But isn't that the best part of having a break. We were back in Fontainebleau by like 9 pm.
Sunday was just relaxing and sleeping and sleeping. I wish life remained the same but it didn't. More on that in P2 Blog. Lets all welcome P2.
