After Belgium, off to Amsterdam

I took the train from Brussels to Amsterdam. I took about 3 hours. When I arrived, of course I took a boat tour along the canals. After the boat tour, I walked through the local areas, had a beer along one of the canals and walked through Vondel Park. I had dinner at an Irish pub across the street from my hotel. It was easy and right there so I said, "Why not?" I actually had a few beers and a coffee drink and went home a bit tipsy. oops!

Oh, I also did the touristy walk through the Red Light District and Dam Square but I didn't like either one. They were too crowded. I felt like it was the Times Square of Amsterdam. I decided to stick to the parks and quiet local areas. Oh no...quiet areas...does that mean I'm growing up?

Great day in Amsterdam!
