In the complex they also have a train station and we took some cash out of a bank machine, this is how you get the best exchange rate, just make sure you bank is connected to the European banks. We found out later that we could have taken the train to central station, which was close to our hotel for 6G, but the shuttle took us right to our hotel so we didn't have to find it. Amsterdam has many canals and bridges and the water is very dirty looking. There is a lot of interesting architecture. We walk through the edge of the Red Light district and around our hotel.
Prostitution is legal in Amsterdam and marijuana is sold openly in coffee shops.
We also saw stores selling magic mushrooms and marijuana. After our amazement we went off to a relaxing dinner. It was a 4 min. Our guide for this week was Hommo Edzes who is able to speak at least four languages. Our group of 29 included French, German and English speaking cyclists, so Hommo had to explain sites and instructions in three languages.
