Ahh, the good life. Strolling along the canals of Amsterdam and watching the sites....no I do not mean the red lit ones! Lebette and I spent 2 nights at the beginning and end of the trip at the Waterfront Hotel in Amsterdam, just off Singel canal. (hotelwaterfront.nl). The room was nice, although next door is a night club that was a little loud at night, but then again they were kind enough to loan us a bottle opener for our wine one night!
Anyway, the flower market was just around the corner where you can order tulips to be delivered to the US.....when they are in season during the summer. However, you can pick up tulip bulbs at the airport that have been US FDA certified to bring back. And for the really fun loving crowd they plenty of young cannibis plants for you to........take home?plant? I don't know what to do with those plants.
The Dutch love their bicycles as a form of transportation. Here is a picture of the 4 level bike parking garage at the main train station in downtown Amsterdam! That is a lot of bikes...and most of them looked the same to me. You think you have a tough time finding your car in a mall parking lot...imagine this.
