Hello there, from South London (ish)

Hi!

Been lurking for a while, and finally signed up earlier in the week. Used to be on channels and I recognise a load of usernames on here from there.

Off to the 'Dam tomorrow morning, back Sunday evening. Been three years, so to say I can't wait is possibly the biggest understatement the world's ever seen :lol:

The hitlist includes:

Grey Area
Amnesia
Tweede Kamer
Bluebird
Voyagers
Green Place

and many, many more :twisted:

It's fair to say that this is my fifth trip, and I've not even been to Anne Frank's house. Or anything that's anything other than a coffeeshop. This trip will be no different :mrgreen:

Welcome to the forum.

We usually find a coffeeshop or two near our art/culture/tech/outdoor destination and and hit it before going in, e.g., The Noon by the Rijksmuseum. When the modern art museum was open that was the place to go after a coffeeshop visit. To bore a bit more, I'm a fan of Amsterdam School architecture- an early 1900s modernism found throughout the city- and I've stumbled on interesting little coffeeshops in my search for these buildings.

Here's Ron's pub guide, to beer things up a little...

Cool thing 'bout a'dam though is you can make whatever kind of vacation you want. Enjoy!
