Day 17 of 364 - Sat 8/20: Trip #1 - Amsterdam

Phrase of the day:     platteland tour    (Countryside Tour)



Amsterdam!!  We left the house at 7am with Kim and Jamie and drove up to Amsterdam (~2hrs north) in time to make our 11am bike tour.

We chose the coutry tour thru Mike's Bike Tours. You get to see so much... both city and countryside wise, with lots of history and stories told. You also visit a cheese and wooden shoe shop where everything is made right on premise. We highly recommend doing the bike tour if you are here! The 14mile, 4hr tour is well worth your time and money! Even though the ride in total is 14miles, it doesn't feel like it since there are stops and the land is flat. (Your butt may think different though the next day)

   

We then had a couple drinks in one of the town squares. People watching is just soooo much fun and better with a glass of wine or beer in-hand :)  After, we had an early dinner at a fish restaurant, Bark. Very tasty!
But then we were pooped and called it an early night at 10p.


Top 2 questions everyone is wondering answered here...
1. Sorry to disappoint, but we did not make it to the Red Light District this trip.
2. No, we did not smoke anything.

Till next time...
