For guessing where the next weekend was spent. Amsterdam is a brilliant city; a rich history, a noticably vibrant arts scene, wonderful architecture, both contemporary and historical; all of it situated in and around the mouth of the Amstel river. The presence of the canals and the use of bicycles by all and sundry to transport themselves lends the place a wonderful sense of tranquility. Whether it is this that puts a smile on the face of just about every person you meet, or whether it's the liberality of certain local laws, it's difficult to say - but one way or another, I'm sold on the place.
