Amsterdam

We spent a week in Amsterdam last year, so this time it was a flying visit, just long enough to catch The Tragically Hip play (twice) at Paradiso. It’s a fantastic venue, although strangely we had to buy memberships at the club as well as our show tickets. Afterwards we stopped by Bojo, a late opening Indonesian place with great cheap food, then walked along the canals. Of course we also managed to find time for a few Heineken, stroopwafels, and pannenkoeken.

Highlights
• Exploring neighbourhoods we missed on the last visit, and watching bikes being scooped out of the canals.
• Walking through the Vondelpark, by night and day.
• Chatting with our waiter Alex at Bojo, the late night Indonesian café.

Lowlights
• A delayed flight from London, giving us 3 less hours in Amsterdam.
• Getting cold and wet after rushing to a concert without my jacket.
