感覺：
雖然只是三天，逃離繁忙的倫敦來到阿姆斯特丹，感覺截然不同。有人說這裡是北方的威尼斯，不過帶點北歐的氣息。我會說這裡是最自由的地方，讓人性表演出來的最好城市。在這裡隨處也可以看到吸食大麻的咖啡店，晚上還有美女櫥窗的紅燈區，也有不用穿衣男女共用的桑拿浴場，真是大開眼界。
由Amsterdam中心火車站到我住的Vondelpark是我每天活動的範圍，也是阿姆斯特丹的舊中心。這裡的主要交通工具除了那輕軌火車，就是腳踏車。我就以腳代步，日與夜，在小河小卷穿梭，欣賞著特色建築，商店和遊人。當然還去了有一年一度十分有名，在Keukenhof的荷蘭花展。

Lonely Planet Top 5 – http://www.lonelyplanet.com/the-netherlands/amsterdam
1 Van Gogh Museum
Housing the world’s largest collection by artist Vincent van Gogh, the museum is as much a tour through the driven painter’s troubled mind as it is a tour through his body of work
For the quintessential bite of Amsterdam, pull up a stool in one of the city’s famed bruin cafés (brown cafes; traditional Dutch pubs)
The Netherlands’ top treasure house bursts with Rembrandts, Vermeers and blue-and-white Delft pottery
If Amsterdam’s neighbourhoods held a ‘best personality’ contest, the Jordaan (once the workers’ quarter) would win
On a sunny day it seems the whole city converges on this sprawling equivalent of New York City’s Central Park
20歐羅住十人dorm，價錢公道也算清潔，就在Vondelpark入口旁。

Day 1 – 幾經辛苦，才到達Stansted機場。雖然來到阿姆斯特丹是下雨天，也無阻我來到新的地方旅行的興奮。
Day 2 – 訂下了很簡單的行程。凡高博物館 + 桑拿，為心靈和身體充電。
Day 3 – 今天去看一年一度的荷蘭花展，在Keukenhof Garden。我是不會走馬看花的。
遊上癮
