This time for work, in October we went to a conference in Maastricht and taking advantage of the visit, we went to Amsterdam to spend the weekend. In Maastricht we were in a hotel which looked very carefully 's Bergere, with a peculiar style, as you can see here picture of my room
Maastricht is a small town, clean and quiet. We could not see much, to attend the conference. Amsterdam, quite the opposite: large, noisy and crowded. It is very easy to get confused and end up walking down the bike path. And in Amsterdam bicycles are used extensively, in fact I saw almost no cars, everyone was going by bicycle or tram.
The houses in Amsterdam are narrow and ridged at the top with rings to climb the furniture. Many houses are crooked, I guess because the moisture is eating the foundation, but do not know.
Of Amsterdam have to see the museum area (we could not see), including the Van Gogh Museum, Dam area, with the royal palace and flower market , which does not sell flowers, but bulb (is it by the time of year?). Although it is best to simply take a walk downtown and wander through the canals of this bustling city, where you find sites with unique charm and people behind every corner. You can also rent bikes at a great price and emulate the citizens of Amsterdam, as though it may seem small, in fact, the center includes a fairly large.
Then there is the obligatory ride on the canals, which gave me the feeling of pacing the film Amsterdamned and a look at the coffee shops, and visit night at the red light district (red light district I do not know how to say in Dutch). there I could see things you would not believe , as a foreigner completely drunk on the floor on all fours with his pants down, quite drunk
another foreigner on him doing the cowboy , the two teetering dangerously on the brink of channel and all this in front of a window from which an attractive young female underwear inviting them to come inside.
A very interesting journey, in short, let me see the contrast between these two cities in the Netherlands.
As usual, these and other photos can be found in my little corner on flickr .
