So the first sightseeing day in Amsterdam has come and gone. I learned one
Rijksmuseum
major thing today about this city… be sure to look both ways before crossing the streets. Bikes and scooters don’t abide by any rules! They are crazy and all over the sidewalks and their own lanes!
In our adventures today, after getting up at 5:30 am, this jet lag thing isn’t as much fun as it sounds, we ventured out and purchased a city pass (IAmsterdam pass) to see as many things as possible over the next 48 hrs. Unfortunately there are very few pictures from the museums as none of them so far will let you take your cameras inside.
Inside the Heineken Experience
So we went and saw the Van Gogh museum and learned his very interesting life, the Rijksmuseum briefly to see some more art… and then it was off to the highlight… the Heineken Experience. This wonderful picture was taken inside the old brewery. I do have to admit though that this is one place that you will want to go. We learned a lot about the history of Heineken, met some great people and had about 1.5 hrs of entertainment. We also got made into a bottle of Heineken. Can`t go wrong there.
Bike Parking near central station
We then went on a Canal cruise, and I took far to many pictures, but one that stood out, is a multiple story bike parking lot. Everyone here bikes… there are so many more bikes than cars it`s crazy!
Well that`s all for today… tomorrow there will be more!
Cheers,
Travis
