“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth, it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.” ~ John Green, Author of The Fault in Our Stars

We arrived in Amsterdam yesterday quite jet lagged to say the least. The flight was long, the walk through the airport was long and the drive to the hotel was long. But the sunrise over Amsterdam was spectacular.

We had an hour and a half walking tour with Claudio of “With locals” to get an overview of the city. Jet lag and the beginning of a migraine are my excuse for not remembering much of the detail but the city, even in the bursts of rain was pretty spectacular.

 We had a lovely dinner at CAU Steakhouse with some from our travel group. After dinner we headed to bed for the next eleven hours!
