Between the Red Light District and the "coffee shops", Amsterdam is the most bizarre place I've ever been to. The city itself is very cute though -- canals line the streets, which are used more by trams and bikers than cars.
A delicious crepe.
A bike parking lot!
A picnic at the park.
I wasn't sure if I had made up this sculpture in my head or if it really existed. It exists!
We were in Amsterdam for 3 days, and Josh, Brittany, and I had some time to kill before flying back to London, so we took a ferry to North Amsterdam, where there is nothing touristy. It's just a quiet neighborhood that happens to have two couches sitting out...The free ferry to North Amsterdam was pretty funny -- it was seriously a 30 second ride. The best part, though, was that adorable little cars could drive right onto the ferry and be shuttled over to the other side!
It's hard to tell fizzy (carbonated) water from normal water in Amsterdam (well, because we didn't know what it was called in Dutch). Josh wanted some non-fizzy water, so he decided to shake two bottles to see if he could tell if it was fizzy by the bubbles. Neither bubbled, so he decided to pick one randomly. When he opened it, it sprayed all over him to tell him that it was, in fact, fizzy water. It was a little sad and a lot funny, and with that, our trip to Amsterdam came to an end.
