Guest Low Roller Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 ...spent the week-end in Amsterdam. The irony of literally being on the 4:20 bus to get to the airport and catch my flight was not lost on me. Some pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Nice!Is the weather there also atypical for this time of year? I assume (based on what you and she are wearing) that it's chilly but not really cold, and I don't see any snow on the ground.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 thanks for the great shots...makes me want to go even more...been wanting to go for so long...guess I gotta get a plan together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 It was about 5 degrees and very humid, so it was far from pleasant. The overcast weather really put a damper on things as well. Definitely a far cry from the -30 degree Ottawa winters, but from what I hear it's a real mild one in Canada this year.

Guest Low Roller Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Haarlem is a cool spot. Been there many years ago... something about a blonde girl...The ferry will be slow and costly. Just fly with Easyjet. They offer relatively inexpensive flights, and only 40 minutes from Gatwick to Schiphol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Haarlem is a cool spot. Been there many years ago... something about a blonde girl... I forgot all about that. But I do remember turning in a spectacular wing-man performance, drunk on Heinekens and carrying the conversation in two languages at once.

SmoothedShredder Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 That city looks awesome through the eyes of your camera. Any shots of the Bulldog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Nope. No shots of any coffeeshops or the Red Light District. Nothing really caught my eye. I do however regret not taking a picture of the Blues Brothers coffeeshop for Booche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Nice, the blues brothers cafe was the first one my buddy and I hit upon getting to amsterdam for our first time.I love that town, been there twice and really want to go back.I still have a lighter from the bulldog that has Amsterdam, Netherlands - British Columbia, Canada or something on those lines on the back (I think there was or maybe still is a bulldog out west???).One word of advice though, the bulldog, being the most famous cafe, is quite the tourist trap with some of the highest prices I found for shit (at least when I was there). Meet up with some locals and tour, they'll show you the best spots.Great memories while at work, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
