Take Me Back!

Amsterdam would definately have to be my favourite city so far (although that´s not set in concrete just yet, I´m on the bus to Barcelona right now). I was amazed at how comfortable I felt doing anything at all there, it really was a home away from home. It was our first city we visited and I didn´t feel at all a foreigner. Of course, Amsterdam is quite an accommodating city. Most people we met spoke great English and we had no troubles at all getting around.

The architecture was stunning. There was so much detail everywhere we looked. The streets were all over the shop, the footpaths were dramatically uneven and buildings leaned this way and that and looked as though they were about to fall over. I know it sounds horrible but it was the complete opposite, especially since the cars had to give way to practically every other mode of transport. Everyone smiles at each other and says hello. It´s like the entire city is one huge, warm hug.
