Amsterdam, a Unique City

arrival

We left Ciampino right on time on a Ryanair flight and landed two hours later at Eindhoven. Outside the station we took bus 401, which for just 3 euros took us to the central station. We took an intercity that in an hour and a half took us to Amsterdam. The central station is very beautiful and I recommend going to see the first-class waiting room at platform 2, which has been turned into a bar but has kept its original furnishings. Don't miss it. We bought the day ticket, which for 7 euros allows you to use all the public transport you want for 24 hours. We then went to the hotel. Did I say hotel? I meant dump. The hotel I chose from the internet turned out to be very dirty, and for the modest sum of 100 euros a night they didn't even give us clean towels. Avoid it carefully. As soon as we dropped off our bags, we ventured out to discover the city.

Unfortunately it was terribly cold, and after dinner at an excellent Indian restaurant we went to bed.

We got up and after a quick breakfast, off we rushed to explore the city. We headed toward the station to have a better look at it, and then we visited the sex museum. Hilarious. We spent the day visiting the canals, the flower market, the diamond factory, and in the evening the red-light district. Of course!

A day dedicated to shopping and the Van Gogh Museum. The evening was dedicated to the sexy show in the Red Light district. Boy, so many people at the theatre!

A day dedicated to the carnival and the masks that populated the streets. In the afternoon, return to Eindhoven to catch the flight that would take us home. Wonderful city of Amsterdam
