Visiting Amsterdam

Amsterdam was okay, but I preferred the quieter streets of Rotterdam. It was probably the crowds and crazy heat wave temperatures. I was also in a very lame hostel located 30 minutes away on the metro. I would rather revisit it during a quiet season without all the tourists like me gawking around. Oh, and it was reaching record temperatures of up to 38°C! A pro-tip is to research more outer regions of the city to experience a more authentic Dutch environment. https://hoodmaps.com/amsterdam-neighborhood-map

Highlights:

• Heineken Experience
• a canal tour
• Rijksmuseum (shout-out to the working air conditioners!)
