Lunch and Postcards - arrival Amsterdam

Image
Tip of the day: Relax at a sidewalk cafe with a drink and postcards Upon arrival in Amsterdam (early am) we checked in to the CitizenM (see previous post), settled a bit, and headed out for our day. It was easy to walk from the hotel to the airport, go down a level, and take the train in to the city. That's what you've got to love about Europe - EASY transport. The postcard stands beckoned, and of course the sidewalk cafes called to us even louder. We bought a few postcards, ordered up our Lipton "ice" tea (with ice! - see previous post), wrote some cards and enjoyed a delicious lunch. We sat taking in the sights: the canal, the architecture, the accents and languages of the people at nearby tables, the young traveler's with big backpacks, all of it.

Jardin des Tuileries

Tip of the day: Pull up a chair at le Jardin des Tuileries The column in the background is the Eiffel Tower. This is the place to soak in the people and the atmosphere - by the water in a chair. Ahh.
