The second stop on our tour was Amsterdam.
We only had one full day in the city, though on our first night after we arrived we had
a look around the city and also visited the red light district. On our one full day we
went on a boat tour of the canals and also a bus tour around the city.
We visited a few of the bars around town on our two nights there, including the
delightful Amstel Taverne.
Everything about Amsterdam is true: bicycles, hash cafés and women selling themselves
in the windows! What a wild city!
