So we've both traveled enough, yet we made a rookie mistake. We went to sleep when we got to Amsterdam. Our flight arrived at about 12:30AM and our hotel let us check in early and we only slept in until about 8:30AM...Winnipeg time. So that means that we slept from about 7:30AM until about 2:30PM. Whoops! We'll see how sleeping tonight goes!
We haven't actually explored Amsterdam during daylight hours yet, but we checked out some of downtown and the red-light district today.
We also ate Stampot for dinner (mashed potatoes with kale, and sausages (just like Betty made))!
And we're now back at the hotel enjoying what we thought were Stampot flavoured Lays chips, but they're actually Stoofpotje flavoured chips (Dutch stew)! How silly of us to have mixed up the two! Anyway, beefy-chips, cheap Heineken (€ 0.94), and maybe some travel cribbage for tonight cause it's already late, and windy, and rainy outside.

Be sure to eat plenty of bitterballen. Have fun!

DeleteMerry Christmas world travellers! I hope Amsterdam got dressed up for the Season, even though there is no white stuff on the ground. bf
