SUMMARY — Amsterdam was one of the cities we spent more time in … mostly because I was attending the Getting Things Done (GTD) Summit 2019.  The conference was 2 days (Thursday and Friday).  We arrived on Wednesday from Rome.  We left on Saturday for Berlin.

Here is a collection of photos from Amsterdam (updates needed):

• Walking Tour on the first day
• Food on the first day
• Big Weather on the first day
• Walking Tours on the 2nd and 3rd day (Mostly Conrad photos)
• Light Dinner & beer at Little Delirium at the Central Station
• Dinner at Castels

Some additional thoughts about Amsterdam:

• The train from the airport to Central Station was pretty easy to navigate.
• The airport in Amsterdam was pretty nice and easy to navigate.
• Taking the bus from Central Station to the GTD Conference was super easy.
• Our hotel was on the other side of Central Station, so we had to take a ferry.  The ferry was free and left every 15 minutes.
• The hotel we stayed in worked for us, but it wasn’t super great. There was no air conditioning, so luckily for us, it never got very hot.  I think the room we had would have been less than ideal if the weather had gotten warm.
• Rain comes and goes in Amsterdam.  Even that big storm on the first night was basically over in 15 minutes.
• Lots of bikes.
• Walking in Amsterdam to and from our dinner and to and from the GTD Conference events was good.
• There is a subway system that we used the last day, which worked out pretty well.
• More info about Little Delirium.
• More info about Castels.
