Amsterdam is another city to add to my favourite city collection. Using my bday as an excuse, and with my fave 7 people posse in tow, this was a 2 day city break on a fine first weekend of April.
Our day 1 got started with a visit to the Keukenhof gardens to catch Amsterdam's most famous flower, the tulip, in bloom. Unfortunately the tulips weren't yet in bloom, but instead we got to see other interesting things, like a bus full of people all dressed up in traditional Dutch clothes (I'm talking clogs hehe). The rest of the day went something like this: city exploring, eating, beers, more exploring, more beers and eating, visit to the red light district, and beers and partying at a randomly found but surprisingly good club.
Day 2 continued on a good note with a visit to the pancake house for breakfast (only my fave breakfast food in the whole world!). Seriously, I think those crepes really contributed to my lovey dovey feelings towards the city. I should mention that we got to the pancake house by renting bicycles, which we then rode to the other side of the city to do a tour of the Heineken brewery. So, yours truly ended up riding a bike through the streets of the city after not being on a bike for a good 14 years. Not going to lie, I was a little terrified at first, but I guess they have the saying 'it's like riding a bike' for a reason, because it all eventually kind of came back hehe. The Heiny brewery was a blast! 2 hours of interactive brewery exploring and beer sampling do equal a good time :)
All in all, it was another awesome weekend with awesome friends! Here's a display of our escapades:
