The two days I spent in Amsterdam were awesome! Highlights include staying with Drae’s amazing Aunt Hanneke who showed me around the city, beautiful neighbourhoods, an amazing vegetarian restaurant, walking along the canals and bikes, bikes, everywhere! Hanneke was the perfect person to stay with. She was so welcoming, treating me like family and she was a lot of fun to hang out with.
A couple observations about biking in Amsterdam…. First of all, everyone does it! Kids, adults, men in business suits, women in dresses and high heels, parents with 1 to 3 kids on their bikes; it is amazing. Second, the city is SO bike friendly, in fact, in many places, bikes have the right of way and there are bike paths all over the city. Cycling is just part of the culture here.
