Yes you did read that correctly we stayed the night in a Christian Youth Hostel. Each room was separated by sex and slept 16 people. We were packed in like sardines.
Snow's bed was deceptively concave (doesn't matter how close you look at the pictures.. you are just going to have to believe).
Sumon had no complaints about his bed. It is good that we only spent the night in Amsterdam since the women in Snow's room snored so loudly it could have been mistaken for a room full of truck drivers. And we all know how well Snow sleeps when people are snoring within a one mile radius.
We spent about 2 hours looking for the library that was a 3 minute walk away. Maybe we should have bought an updated version of Amsterdam Lonely Planet instead of cheaping out using the one Snow used when she was in Europe.... oh some 7 YEARS ago. Lesson learned!
We walked around the Red Light District during the day and surprisingly there were not many women in windows, so Snow sent home postcards stating this... then we out that evening and well it was Saturday night in Amsterdam. Many women in windows. Amsterdam felt surprisingly safe.
We spent much of our time in the Hostel because Sumon got sick. Actually the thought of food made him want to vomit. Luckily by morning he was feeling better. Getting lost in Amsterdam allowed us to see another side of the city. We saw a father playing outside with his daughter, many families walking around, and a dog that kept turning up. Amsterdam is an amazing city, but expensive. Note to all those travelling there if you plan to change money, change very little in the airport as there is about a 10 Euro per 100 US deficit. More to come on our travels. Pictures will be posted soon.
Update: Pictures posted, and resized. Sorry about that.
