“Stunning” Amsterdam – Day 2

the train station

More than any other city Amsterdam is the city of bridges and canals. Transport is excellent until someone causes an accident blocking traffic, tourists are PLENTIFUL and it is expensive. There are hundreds of museums that are not cheap. Remember the story about the Scots (known for being tight with money)? Well, Europeans say the Scots went to Holland to learn from the Dutch how to be good with money and they failed the course. But almost everything can be paid contactless with your phone with most payment systems including getting on and off the trams.

Look at the station clock. It doesn’t have numbers.
quite a few of these little electric cars around. they take up very little space.
there are electric charging stations on many residential streets
this is a Russian tank destroyed by Ukranians recently. The sign in front says “NATO propaganda”. In the back you can see “Burger King”. Interesting!
this is the Foodhallen food stands. it is a little between street fast food and restaurant food. they are like hot dog stands
the Rijksmuseum. we didn’t go in but were told it is impressive
in the halls of the museum entryway a wannabe opera singer
the other side of the museum
book this one at least a few weeks in advance
My favorite
close to the red light district
Basilica of Saint Nicholas
