Amsterdam Whow!
"Central Station"
Every City should have one.You can go anywhere from here. If travelling on the tram or strret car as we call them in Canada.Pick up your all day pass and save money as you can get off and shop or site see where ever you want. You pay at the back of the car rather than the front like our's.Remember the tram will not move until every one has paid or shown a all day pass.So if you are going the wrong way just get off and cross the street to the other side and get back on.Always remember about pick pockets also it is hard travelling with back pack on the tram as the alleyways are tight and the pack are heavy and bulkey. Small suitcase with wheels is much better to travel with .I learned this the hard way.
"Hotel Linda"
We stayed at this small hotel.The rooms are very clean and comfortable .Each has it's own bathroom and windows that open out onto the canal.The hotel offers a good breakfast and has parking which we didn't use . The doors are locked at 11.00 pm but an outside bell usually arouses someone to let you in.Security.This hotel reminds me of Yorkville in Toronto Ontario Canada when I wore younger clothes. Approx 100- 120 euros can be booked on the net. Address Stadhouderskade 131-1074 AW Amsterdam Tel-020-673-8739 Fax 020-570-3540 Internet www.hotellinda.nl
