One perfect day in Amsterdam

July 18th, 2005 by MrLuxuryFashionGuru

Edit: Click on this link if you want to know how I spent my One perfect day in Amsterdam to get some ideas of your own.



It’s true – Amsterdam is absolutely a must-go city.  I’ll tell you about it soon enough, or at least put up a few pictures with informative captions.


As I write this, the intense summer-day sunlight is giving way to a softer, bluer late-afternoon glow (it’s about 6pm), flooding the front room of Eric’s spacious apartment on the third floor of a charming canal-house.  Lovely.


I am so tired, mainly from walking, and awkwardly stretching to ride Eric’s bike (he’s considerably taller than I am) which has the disconcertingly different braking mechanism that seems standard here (to brake you backpedal).  I’m truly thankful I managed to get about without incident.


Oh, the walking!  The last five days have been filled with endless walking and standing in museums and chateaux, city centres and quiet neighborhoods.  Thank God for endorphins.


Glorious accomplished tiredness.  I shall go stretch out some of the stiffness in my legs and then perhaps I shall read a little.  Or nap.


Nap.

    Hello, I was just reading your post; On The Move… » Blog Archive » One perfect day in Amsterdam. I don’t know if you have seen it or any of your readers but there is a new free shopping application that makes it easy to find the best internet price on any item. I got it last Saturday for free and it still is I am sure.

    Since my daughter was born my wife has been taking pictures of her like crazy on her iPod so I thin rip DVD to iPad k this awesome app would be great for her!!I know this is really noob-ish, but I don”t know how to access game center. I don”t have an app for it, and I can”t find one in the app store.Guys, a new casing on an iPhone 4 should have nothing to do with bad reception. The antennae is in the band. A back will not affect reception.I know this is really noob-ish, but I don”t know how to access game center. I don”t have an app for it, and I can”t find one in the app store.Guys, a new casing on an iPhone 4 should have nothing to do with bad reception. The antennae is in the band.
