The first time for me to meet a group of Travbuddies, Rob organized a pot luck picnic at the Amsterdam Vondelpark, a perfect location, which brought back sweet memories to me.Because this was a pot luck, I decided I would go on bike, that way I did not have to carry the bags with food and such - af…

Occasionally I get the opportunity to stand and admire the beauty of the Amsterdam in the morning as I wait for the bus.  This doesn’t happen often as I am normally cutting it as close as possible or get on the bus and bury my nose in a book.  On this particular morning I got the opport…

I spent my last night in Amsterdam in... the airport, hahaha, but wasn't alone :) Yesterday, while I was in my way to Amsterdam I saw a girl holding a map. So I realized she was another tourist and asked her: "where are you from?" She was a nice Canadian girl, who was in her way to the airport…

To be correct, I guess I should start with...Day 0 - Los Angeles to Amsterdam.  We left LAX at 6:40am on September 10.  After a 3 1/2 hour layover in Philadelphia (which turned into 5 hours) we arrived in Amsterdam ~ 8:30am, only 1/2 hour late (where did 1 hour go?) on September 11. …

I had to leave Berlin and train back to Amsterdam to change my plane ticket. I thought I would have had enough for a few more days in the Netherlands, but it seems that hidden taxes and fees for changing my flight tapped me completely of the rest of my money. It kind of stunk to have to end it…

Was having second thoughts about going on this trip, but I glad I went. Such an amazing place, walking around the city everyone was so well dressed. I felt like walked in on a fashion show. People on bikes, trams, small cars, thats all you see. No big highways or tall buildings.I spent most of my t…

I didn't have the time yet to write about the meet-up. However, I can recommend the other tons of blogs already being made. The pics just give another impression of a great night in A'dam!

My 5th European country to visit was the Netherlands, Amsterdam the Great city, the arrival to The airport with almost 4 hours delay,(thanks Continental), made me rush into the city fast, no hotel reservation just a little info about getting to Amsterdam, and getting to the train station. Amsterdam…

Today I woke up feeling very uncool. I only had 2 beer the night before but that space cake just really took it out of me I guess. All it did was make me really sleepy but the next morning I woke up feeling like I got hit by a truck!! I had the biggest headache and just felt sick all over. Once I h…

We were suppose to meet at Centraal 4-5:30PM. I was running late and barely made it 5:30. But as I was almost there, I called Kat, our sweet organizer, to ask if they were still there. Noup! They had already left before 5 because everybody had come early. They were walking down to Spui, heading to …

Queen’s day was our first time to do a TB meet-up.  We were running late that morning.  On the was to the meet-up Rob bought a pink pony for a friends birthday from a little girl on the street.  We made it to the bar and found the large group of TBers.  We introduced ourselves…

In Holland Prostitution and drugs like mushrooms and weed are legal. The shops where they sell the drugs are called coffee shops and you will find plenty of them all around the city. Seems business is running quite well :) You can also buy seeds to grow your own plants or mushrooms. We walked along…
