Amsterdam

We left Frankfurt around noon, and headed out of town in the general direction of Holland. The weather was nice and we drove once again with the top down getting some sun on our pale skin. Having the wind ruffle your hair and hear the roar of the V8 engine is an experience I won't easily forget.. Neither will Victor. He got the car up to 125 mph. That means 200 km/h for us metric people ;-)

Once again it started raining about half way to Amsterdam, this time while we were still driving with the top down. Even though it was refreshing with some raidrops protecting the interior of the car is essential and hence we put the top back up. After putting the top back up, we switched seats, and I drove the rest of the way to Amsterdam (about 200 km both legs).

Finally in Amsterdam, we checked into our Hotel. After a little rest it was time to go out and check the night-life. We wandered a few blocks from the hotel and found a decent restaurant where we got some nice food and some beers. Not quite sure how many for some strange reason.. Amsterdam is a really nice city with all of its nice canals and small bars and cafés. The night life is really vibrant, but they close at 01, which is unusual for me coming from Norway where the closing time is 03 in the morning. We'll just have to compensate for that tonight :-)

We'll try to do some sights today, but as we got up fairly late today and spent the better part of two hours walking downtown and getting some breakfast, we might have to postpone the cultural aspect of our Amsterdam visit until tomorrow..
