Ironically named in that of all the times I've flown internationally, I actually didn't feel too bad for this one.
Got in around mid day in Amsterdam. The train to downtown is pretty slick. We had a bit of trouble at the central station transferring to a tram, with the different ticket system, but all in all, it went all right. I napped for a little when we got to our air B and B, but we kept it short and hit the streets to walk around. It's funny, as it's really how you imagine it before arriving. Densely packed, cool looking houses along canals. I don't think there's anyway I could have imaged so many bikes. The are literally everywhere. Really cool to see. Our place is small, and the lady smokes in the hall, but it's a great location and she's nice.
We are in the pijp (pipe). Right next to the Heineken experience. We meandered around the east side of town for the afternoon, making our way down to a Dutch micro brewery under a windmill. Solid beer...although you have to like belgiums. We skirted the zoo too. Dinner was in the neighborhood. A great Indonesian place. Very cheap on top of it all; like 25 total for diner.
