Amsterdam, Netherlands
We arrived in Amsterdam, walked lost through confusing streets, finally found our hotel, checked in, climbed about 4 flights of very steep stairs (see below), only to find our plush, large, spacious room. Welcome to Europe. Note how the bed is pressed into a corner. This was pretty common in our experience.
Even steeper than they look. Can you say economize space?

This is for all us skaters, past and present. This open, free, unused park was near the Van Gogh Museum. A friend of mine saw this picture and said this park was there when he was in Amsterdam about 8 years ago. He saw a bunch of kids skating on it.
A pretty typical scene along canals with flowers, one-speed bikes, and cobble-stone streets.
