| Amsterdam Centraal Train Station |
Working my way north in the Netherlands, I spent a lovely day walking around Amsterdam. Having never been here before, and taking advantage of the sunny day, I spent the majority of the day just walking the city. My friend's husband was my guide for the morning, pointing out various changes in the way the city has evolved to cope with the modern world. He deposited me in front of the museums mid-day, where I wandered through room after room of modern art, classic Rembrandts, or Delft pottery.
Getting to the city at 10:30 am, I was on the train back to Utrecht about 7 pm, having ambled my way around canals, cafes, souvenir shops, and (of course) the Red Light District. I didn't visit any coffeeshops, but saw plenty of patrons maundering through the Red Light District as the windows started to come to life.
