Tour of Amsterdam



























Amsterdam, October 29th. It is wednesday and I have a day off. Although it is fall, it is sunny and warm and perfect for a tour of Amsterdam by bike combining fun, food and shopping. The trip starts in fashionable Jordaan, then to industrial Noord and back through the shopping district. Bicycle is needed and the free ferry system of Amsterdam helps too. It's good to see that the hysteria has left Amsterdam. Despite the good weather you terraces are empty and the city feels nice and quiet. After having lived in the city of cities (NYC) I keep looking for those days where a city feels intimate. New York always got that feeling. It felt like an inspiring, energetic place, but it had great routine ass a city. Amsterdam is all over the place and goes from hysteria to boring in a day.
