  • Amsterdam is one of those cities that you see in photos and always say you want to visit! Well, we had the opportunity and we took it! Our sailing on Norwegian Prima started in Iceland and ended in Amsterdam. It was really cool to watch as the ship went through the locks to enter the Amstel River and sail into the city.
    We have a day in the city before we leave so we will see what we can do... First up is we have to really see the canals that run through the city. We walk along them until we find where we can hop on one of the canal tours. This was perfect for us as we needed a day just to relax... But for dinner, we wanted to go to a recommended spot... Foodhallen! As in one location, we can try many different foods from around the world. We just love these food markets!

    We just got home Friday from Amsterdam. We had the delicious huge pork and veal meatball on a bed of mashed potatoes. They have carrots in the mashed potatoes. First salad with Dutch cheese and dessert was little pancakes with powdered sugar. Really enjoyed it but all the bicycles stressed me out!! God bless.

    Been watching your videos for a while now. Just got off the mardi gras cozumel in September. So surreal to suddenly watch you guys arrive in Amsterdam. Welcome, and hope you had a wonderful time in our country. Even for us Dutch people, Amsterdam is a different place. Most people don't even speak Dutch, but English. It's more international than more land inwards (I live east close to the German border). Feel I should have known about the hooks on the buildings, but I didn't 😅

    Hi guys! You brought back memories for me. I spent a long weekend there in the summer of 1969. Yes, I was in the service. Did the food, did the beer, did the culture, did the canal tour, and did the red light district. Well, I was 21 then. Oh, I forgot to mention the coffee houses. Great place to visit. Always wanted to go back, but never made it. Wonderful tour, and thanks for the memories. Mike.

I loved the canal tour too and Anne Frank house is very interesting (yet very sad) to visit. Your vlog makes me want to go back!

    @tonykirk6935 2 года назад +1

    Great video! bought back memories of my military time (RAF) spent lots of time in AMS (Heineken brewery) lol - found some info on the Duvel Ber: Duvel is a 100% pure and natural beer, with no additives or preservatives. And you can taste the difference immediately. Its surprisingly high alcohol content (8.5%), glad you enjoyed it ...cheers and keep up the great work!

    @liesbeth1012 2 года назад

    Love to see you in Amsterdam. And yes the canalboat tour is a good start to see the city. And I was laughing when I saw your face when tasting the bitterbal. They have also a tasting one with 5 different flavors. I loved it. But I’m Dutch and grew up with those. I’m not living in Amsterdam, but my son does although not in the center, so I come there a lot. And you were lucky that the ship actually sails in to the center, because lots were not allowed because of the low water in the summer. You have to come back sometime and spent more time here.

  • @wiboflex
    @wiboflex 2 года назад +1

    That Duvel beer is a good choice and very tasty. You should try the Vedett extra white beer from the same brewery, you can taste the same base notes but it’s a wheat beer and nice for summer

    The building you didnt know what is is, is het paleis op de Dam, built in the golden century as townhall. Now used by the royal to governmental issues.
    By the way:we love bitterballen! Each time we are in the Netherlands we take a lot of them home and enjoy!

    Amsterdam is an amazing city, there is actually estimated 800k bikes in the city v 200k cars!
    The culture in Amsterdam is so vivid and the people are great, lots to see if you venture out of the centre and go further out, even out to the tulip fields when in season. Its definitely a city that is so much more than the red light district and the bud. Easily one of my favourite cities in Europe. 👌
