A perfect amount of time...
Wow...that will be a perfect amount of time to have some fun in Amsterdam! So, when you get to Schipol take the train to Centraal Station. If there is not a long line go to the ticket counter, it can take less time and frustration than using the vending machines. But if you do use the machines make ...

Just booked our 4th trip to Amsterdam!!! Sept. 19th-25th
Every time we go to Amsterdam we say "This is the last trip we can make for a few years" but the city keeps drawing us back to her, like our long lost homeland. This year we really were not planning to go back, we have many friends we have been planning to visit. Friends in New York, Seatt...

We Have Returned...yeah
Well we are back home in Florida. The last 2 days in Amsterdam flew by. On Wednesday we went to Daapermarkt to look for supplies for our dinner party. We made mexican beef burritos with fresh guacamole and margarita's. Also I picked up some flowers for the table. I found a bouquet of white roses tha...

Tuesday 11-11
Today we set of around 10:00 heading for Sarah's Pancake house. We arrived at a good time (just as it was starting to rain). We had ham & cheese pancakes and hot chocolate. I must say that everything was only okay. The pancake was good (I have had better) but the hot chocolate was unfortunate, a...

Monday 11-10-08
One day on every trip to Amsterdam we set aside for mushrooms. I was really wondering if that was going to happen this year, with the proposed change in law. However, things have not seemingly changed too much on that level. I would say the smoking ban has had a MUCH larger effect on things. So toda...

Well, today was a total blow off day. If you can believe it, I have not stepped foot in a coffeeshop all day. We hung out at the apartment till mid day, then headed down to the flower market. We were planning to stop at the market, but the one by our place is closed on Sunday's come to find out. So ...

Sitting In The Bulldog...
Hi ... Thanks for all the comments. It has been fun doing this. It really helps having a lap top. Okay to answer some questions: How was the Arjan's Ultra Haze #2? That's on my list to try while I'm there, which is in 11 days. We're not missing one another by much, too bad I would have liked to have...

Well, we did a little better yesterday. It was colder, but not rainy. The wind was killer however. Just perfect for walking & shopping, with an occasional stop for a smoke and a tea. And that is just what we did. We started with a tram ride to Waterlooplein for coffee and bagel. From there we wa...

Another slow day. We didn't leave the house till around noon. Now that we have mastered the grocery store, going out every time we need nourishment seems to be a thing of the past, however it is keeping us from venturing into the city for long jags. Being able to smoke in the apartment is also very ...

Well, we did not make it to Mellow Yellow yesterday. Really, after my post we went back to bed and slept for another 6 hours. When we did get up and going the sun had come out and it was beautiful outside. We went down to Waterlooplain (forgive the spelling) to the Bagels and Beans for coffee. The c...

November 4-13
Well I can hardly believe it but, today marks 10 days before we will be on our way back to Amsterdam for our 3rd trip. We started the planning for this trip as soon as we returned from trip #2 last November. So we have been waiting for 50 weeks! I know this sounds crazy, but the time seems to have f...
