Amsterdam

Arrived in Amsterdam a few hours ago. When i left MI it was in the 60's, so i didn't bother dressing to warmly. Here it has been in the 40's, windy, flurrying, and even hailing. Kind of chilled right now. Spent 3 hours getting lost in the city but wound up at the Van Gogh museum, so toured that for a couple hours. Now am trying to find my way back to the Central Station so i can get to the airport in time to fly to Rome.

Haven't slept since Wednesday. Normally i would sleep on the plane but this plane had a tv screen in every seat along with a remote that let you play games and pick from around 10 different movies, so on the way here i just watched movies instead of sleeping.

But all is ok - what more would i want from a vacation than to be exhausted, cold, and lost?

One great thing about this town - they have LOTS of bikes. So many that every road i have seen has a very wide bike lane in it. Which reminds me - Van Gogh looks like the guy who sold me my bike.
