Yesterday was one of the sunniest and warmest days of the summer in Amsterdam so far. Luckily, it just so happened to fall on a Saturday. Scott and I took full advantage and went to Europe's largest zoo, Artis Zoo. It is full of gardens and animals from every continent. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking...
Scott and I live on one of the most photographed corners in all of Amsterdam. Our apartment is on the corner of two canals and has magnificent views. We get the pleasure of watching different boats going by from fiberglass runabouts to the small pedal boats. The other day we were even lucky enough to see someone riding by in a giant clog.
Besides these ...
On Thursday, Jess and I decided to go the way the tourists go and enjoy a day at the Heineken Experience. It is the old brewery that leads people through the history of the beer from day one to the present. We didn't know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised to find it was interactive and rather fun. The self-guided tour explains the history ...
After a whirlwind hiatus to the states, I was in relax mode upon getting back to Amsterdam. My friend, Jess, was in town from St. Paul visiting so Scott and I took her to our local coffeeshop, Dolphins.
Upon walking into Dolphins, you enter a world below the sea. The walls look like coral reef and there is a blue that takes over ...
On Saturday morning we awoke with the sun shining. This is a rare occurrence because of the usual rainy days and not one we are willing to take for granted. Scott and I made a jug of spicy bloody mary's and headed outside only stopping when we got to the peddle boats (or canal bikes as ...
Last week Scott and I booked a city canal cruise for ex-pats. We decided it would be a great way to meet people in the area who were also new. The meeting place was The Hard Rock Café. We were a little put off by the spot since it seems to be a tourist hotspot and not one that we would go to without a reason.
When we arrived we were ...
Ahhh, Saturdays. Waking up in a slightly dazed state due to the night before and trying to make something of the day. Scott and I headed out on the streets by foot to explore the city. We started by moving down the Kloveniersburgwal to Nieumarkt where the market was in full swing. We slowly moved down the aisles picking ...
What is THE sexiest place in Amsterdam!???? Calm down, calm down, I'm here to tell you. Now picture this: it's a warm summer night, the bustle of the city is still going on, but you are with your sexy friends and you want to take it to the next level... you want to feel like you're ...
Let's face it. Amsterdam can be loud. The trams whiz by within feet of foot traffic, the canals are home to honking motor boats, and at any time a tour-guide is screaming while describing the city so everyone in the group can hear. Amsterdam is full of lights, noise, and most importantly, energy. Even the short-time visitor may need an oasis to ...
