Amsterdam 20/8/13

We took the park and ride from the Amsterdam arena home of Ajax which included train and buses for 8 euro (5people). Chelsea lifted the Europa league trophy there in may.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Amsterdam, apparently it is horribly overcrowded at weekends but today it was fairly quiet and we could get around comfortably. Highlight we're the obviously beautiful canals and impromptu reggae trumpeter on a rowing boat and the architecture - lows were the seedy bar and red light areas.
