Night and Day


9/23/2013 - Amsterdam, the Netherlands

More than any city I've visited, the tourist parts of Amsterdam have the biggest contrast between its morning, afternoon, and night life. Several times we walked down streets thinking that we were lost since they had looked so different just a few hours ago.

We started our last day in Amsterdam with a few traditional / touristy Dutch sights: we had bitterballen at a cafe, tried a few cheeses at a cheese store, and walked past the tulip market. In the afternoon, we visited the recently renovated Rijksmuseum and the "Amsterdam Dungeon Experience." At night, we had our last run through the nightlife with Dutch beers by the Dam.
