Amsterdam is one of a kind. Everyone knows about the Red light district and the coffee shops, but what a lot of people don’t know is that is has some of the world’s most modern housing projects in the world. The Dutch culture really loves high architecture and we could first tell that we were first arriving by train from Rome that took around 22 hours. Thankfully half of that was in a sleeper train, which is THE way to travel in Europe. Once we checked into out hostel, we were off to explore the city. It is a canal city, similar to Venice. Amsterdam is not as romantic but still has those beautiful canals that you can see boats navigate through. After walking around for a while, we decided to go to the Heineken Brewery Tour. It was pretty gimmicky but still a lot of fun. Plus we got three beers free, with our entry price of 10 euros. The second day, we went to the Van Gogh Museum. Amazing building and the collections were nice as well. A craving for Mexican food led to more exploration, which was well worth it because the food was very good, not like
what we are use to in the states as Mexican, but more like South Mexican food. One the Third day we decided to make the long trek to the river side to see the modern architecture projects. They blew us away. Lots of pictures and dinner finally made us return to the city center. We got some good sleep that night due to all the walking. We travel to Berlin the following morning.
