I was pleasantly surprised as I had forgotten just how picturesque* the city is. The crazy cyclists were annoying at times though, I was never quite sure who had right of way and whether they are allowed to cross a red traffic light or are just very daring.
I stayed at The Toren, rated no.1 hotel in Amsterdam on Tripadvisor. Despite booking at short notice, I got a decent rate for a 4* hotel. And while the hotel 'warned' me about the size of the room, it was really nice and the bed bigger than a single bed which meant I was able to sleep all right.
I only had an afternoon and a morning (spent at the Moco), so I primarily walked about the city centre and concluded that in terms of shopping facilities, I could totally see myself living here! :-)

| Not exactly great weather - but I am happy as long as it doesn't rain and I am not freezing |
 |
| Dinner for one at Ramses - loved the high ceiling and windows and the steak was also yummy! |
*I learned this in French class at school. Why on earth do I remember details like that?
