Wandering in Amsterdam
When we traveled in the Netherlands, we stayed at a pension that had the most narrow stairway I had ever seen. It was an adventure getting our luggage to our room! I would recommend a backpack for those of you who are planning a trip to Europe. Backpacks were not all that popular in the 70’s when we took our trip.
Our hosts were rarely seen, unlike the B & B’s here in the states. They did set out a nice breakfast of hard rolls, boiled eggs and cheese. I know that I should eat like that more often but I was hungry and that didn’t satisfy my appetite. My husband said their coffee was good. I wasn’t a coffee drinker at the time.
We wandered the streets of Amsterdam and watched the police shoo away all the hippies from their gathering place on the town square. The atmosphere was much like a big city here in the states except they had a red light district. That was interesting!
