Girl Gone Euro: Amsterdayum

Happy St. Patty's day all!

The most recent european adventure was to the Netherland city of Amsterdam. My friend Nick invited me for his birthday. He was very excited...

Now Amsterdam has a reputation for the two H's. Hookers and Hash. So I was kind of expecting for it to be a dirty party city. But it was beautiful!!

One of the many lovely Canals.

We stayed at the Stayokay Vondendel Park. It was the biggest Hostel I have stayed at so far and it was really nice.

Amsterdam overall should definitely be visited. First of all they're are great sites to see. It's a little but pricy, but definitely worth it.

First is the necessary tourist spot. The I Amsterdam sign. Pictures need to be taken.

Then there is the Heineken museum. I am not a fan of beer. But it was really fun!

Beer is better when it's free.

The Van Gogh Museum: I love impressionist and it was really interested to see all his works and his evolution. There was also a Monet and Picasso section.

Only picture i could take before I got yelled at.

And of course, the Anne Frank house. It was so interesting and moving. You saw the house and lots of found artifacts left over by Anne and her family, including her original journals.

And the best way to see them all are the bikes. In Amsterdam, bikes rule the road. No matter when and where, they have the right of way.

Locking my bike up on a bridge. Safety first!

All the riding makes you hungry. Amsterdam food was that great. The only amazing local food was the pancakes!

Hello lunch. Chicken and onion pancake.

Beyond sites, and bikes and food, my favorite thing about Amsterdam was that everywhere you looked, there was something funky and random. Don't believe me?
