"Livin' on Space Cake, watchin' my friend get baked, all of those tourists covered in hash!" Ok, so it wasn't sponge cake, but it was good! As they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do! Pretty harmless fun, but these "coffee shops"are everywhere. As well as the Red Light District. Pretty funny sights there, but no sampling! :)
Looks like Venice, "smells" like Amsterdam.
We took the tour of this tower to get a bird's eye view of the city. All 187 steps to the top. It was used as an observation post for incoming ships, watch post for fires and anything else that they needed to do looking down from above. They had a system of bells that would sound the appropriate alarm depending on what they observed.

With hash muffins for breakfast, who needs salt shakers?! Looks like you're having a good time around A'dam (after a less-than-perfect journey there), and I'm glad TomTom is a hit -- knew it would be be; we sure appreciate ours. Have you eaten at the Café Americain yet? Check out the late-sale ticket office nearby and find something interesting at the cultural center. There's more to A'dam than window shopping in the red-light district. ;-)
Have fun, and keep up the good blog! We enjoy reading from you.
