Last weekend was spent camping in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a beautiful city, and with it's canals and beautiful houses it reminded me of a well-thought-out Venice. It was equally as easy to get lost in, however, mostly due to the fact that Dutch street names seem to shun vowels. It's hard to find your way when you're looking for Ghrrflnzmrt Street and find yourself on Grfhlmmtz instead.
Amsterdam was also the cleanest city I have yet to visit so far. Even the camping was cushy; we had wifi in our tent. Everyone was extremely pleasant, so long as we stayed out of the bike lanes. They do NOT kid around with their bikes in Amsterdam; there were easily more bicycles than cars on the street at any given moment. It's an environmentalists dream, and a great retreat from the vespas of Rome.
Overall a wonderful weekend get away in the sun, and here's the best part: I flew there and back, made every single flight, and didn't even throw up once! Excuse me, I have to go pat myself on the back.
