a weekend in a'dam

Wow. That is the best description of this weekend. The only conclsion i have made so far, is the only place we are staying long enough is possibly Berlin, no other city is near long enough.

I was very lucky to know a family that lives outside of Amsterdam so I stayed there for the weekend. From there we went to Amsterdam on sat. The city was quite overwhelming, but I still enjoyed it immensley. One day was not nearly enough time to see all that A'dam had to offer. Today we drove to Der Haag. It was rainy and there was a marathon and a huge market and festival so it was veey busy as well and we only saw the city from the car. The little part of Holland I have seen has made me fall in love with the country. I love all the green, with grazing animals.

Luckily we decided to get to the train station early, because the line to get tickets was outrageous. (It turned out that the gentleman pointing us in the right direction put us in the wrong line) and this weekend only the trains back to Duessledorf are routed out of a different station! The last train of the night is the only one leaving from Amsterdam Centraal, so that is the one we get to take. We will get back later than expected but all is well :). Another week begins and so does another European adventure!
