Yesterday we spent the day in Amsterdam, what a cool city! we were very impressed with all the people on bicycles! far more people ride bikes than drive cars. I guess thats what happens when its flat as a pancake, doesn't snow, and there is good infrastucture in place for cyclists. not only do riders have their own lane, it even has its own min-bicycle stoplight! We enjoyed all parts of Amsterdam, the huge open air markets, the old architecture. the van gogh museum, the canals, and the redlight district. pretty amazing the red light district surrounds an ancient church. We also found it weird that the hookers were out in force at 10 am! we even saw a business man heading in for some other "business".
Today we're up early and are heading south on our bikes. We're going to ride towards Brugge, although we're not sure how far we'll go. There are many nice spots along the way including Zeeland which is a likely destination for us today.
Cheers-
Mitch and Heather
