Our visit to Amsterdam coincide with the Dutch playing Bulgaria in the euro 2008 qualifying campaign. Rooms were in high demand, most were charging exorbitantly prices. In the end, we found accomodation in Haarlem which was 30 min train ride from Amsterdam. It is so much more peaceful and things are cheaper too, Amsterdam is too busy and noisy for our liking.
Our trip to Haarlem concide with their annual boat festival which liven up the town, with lots of house boats docking at river and everyone enjoying themselves.
We visited the Anne Frank museum, Vondelpark and red light district. Wanted to visit the Van Gogh museum, but unfortunately it was close. As we had already book for a budget flight to Istanbul 2 days later, we didn't see much though of Amsterdam though.
