So the journey began when we touched down in Amsterdam and had to catch the train from the Airport to our hotel. As soon as you come out of the terminals, people queue up to purchse their tickets from these ticket machines.
Kum attempting to buy tickets. For some reason, we couldn't figure out how it worked and after trying a few times, we gave up on technology and went to find the information counter with someone we could talk to. Everyone in Amsterdam speaks very good English which made it a lot easier to get around.
On the train to Amsterdam!In London they have double decker buses. In Amsterdam they have double decker trains :)
Bikes, bikes and more bikes!
First thing you'll notice in Amsterdam are the amount of bikes. They are everywhere! And we're not just talking about a handful of bikes parked on the street or around poles. We're talking about hundreds of bikes parked everywhere! And lots of shops, like this one, where you can hire bikes. It's so popular that places actually run out of bikes to hire!
Bikes again!
I find it interesting how different cities have different pedestrian buttons and instructions. Obviously in Amsterdam, pictures speak louder than words :)
Our hotel. Was a small but cosy room. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Our first meal in Amsterdam. We stumbled across a lane of restaurants and the main food that stood out was Argentinian steak. As we walked past the tables, the food did look pretty good so we gave it a try.
I ordered ribs - it was huge serving! And very delicious!
Found this amusing as a restaurant name.
Dam Square by night.

Dam Square by night.We wondered around to walk off our big dinner (and funnily came across a lot of Argentinian Steak places) and ended up at the Dam Square, the heart of Amsterdam.
