We spent only 2 nights in Amsterdam on the way from Berlin to London, which is a bit of a shame as it turned out to be one of our favourite cities in Europe!  The weather was great so we rode bikes around, stopping in parks and taking photos along the way.  The city is totally set up for bikes with cycle lanes everywhere, and cars actually STOP for bikes!  Now this is our kinda city  J   Not like in Oz where car drivers tend to want to run you down.  Oh, and helmets are not compulsory.  We did the usual touristy stuff, like visiting coffee shops and the red light district, and generally had a pretty relaxed time!  Amsterdam had a great vibe and everyone was really friendly, hopefully we can spend more time here one day!  But we were on a mission: get to London and then on to Glastonbury!
