Amsterdam Netherlands
“First time in Netherlands?” asked us the officer in the passport counter.
“Yes” said Atzva.
“Second” say I.
I don’t read books twice, don’t see movies twice, don’t go twice to a museum.
I prefer not to go twice to the same trip – unless there is a good reason for it.
What is the good reason to go twice to Amsterdam?
Sex,
Drugs
And rock n’ roll
=)
Take Care

P.s.
In Hebrew we called the Netherlands by the name Holland. Which is the name of two provinces in Netherlands =)
Anyway, Amsterdam is in one of those provinces, so it isn’t a mistake to say we have been to Holland =P
The cockpit of the Ukraine Airlines, we checked if the pilot looks like it is about to commit suicide… and take us with him =(
The Netherlands from the airplane. The airplane circled in the air for an hour before we landed for “technical reasons”…
The technical reason appeared to be a blackout all around Amsterdam.
They were no trains and the mess remind us home =)
Our home for next 4 days – the castle of Armth hotel
The entrance – decorated with statues and art of stone
The stairs and the entrance – look at the details!
The first floor lobby, covered with marble.
The room, the all place was bigger than our 3 rooms apartment in Haifa =P
The Nespresso machine – I don’t drink coffee, but I must admit it was very tempting.
Drinking (free) beer and relaxing by the window
The wellness. I have never been to a 5 star hotel before, but it look right, doesn’t it =)
A pretty wide spread car here – for one man only but you can park almost anywhere =)
And electric cars just parking around. Unlike the unsuccessful attempt of Better Place in Israel, here it seems that stuff works nice and easy =)
There pretty much Tesla taxis here…
It seems bikes are really the most spread kind of transportation here: look at the lines of bikes parking in front of our hotel!
