First Impressions – How do we move here?The Schipol Airport is light, bright and bustling with happiness. Obviously all the glowing lights and big chains are there – but also flower shops, welcoming people, and an easy tram system. We skillfully maneuvered through customs and took the metro to Central Amsterdam. We then drag our giant (60lb) bags down cobblestone streets to our hotel; the NH Dolen. We are in a beautiful location. Totally central to everything and sitting right on of the cities winding canals!

Side note – a train had crashed earlier on the metro causing a 30 min delay.
Key points – Fries with curry ketchup (yum, yum, yum!)
Dampkring Coffeeshop (filmed some of oceans12 there)
We walked through the Red light district. Beautiful girls standing in the windows with florescent lingerie on. It was definitely a bustling hot spot with more tourists and families than scandal or skin. On our way, in the slight rain they had a major street closed. Loads of people lined the sidewalks and we watched as they filmed a high speed car ram the sidewalk into 3 other cars. Sparks flew everywhere. It was quite the surreal evening!
