Amsterdam!

I arrived at 2:00 AM. I have learned my lesson now. No More Night Traveling! All the trains except for the main lines are closed at that time, so I was stuck at "Amsterdam Centraal" with no hotel. This mean I had to walk around Amsterdam at 2:30 AM looking for a room. Fortunatley I found one, and at the same price, so I am just staying here, rather than going to the hostel I was going to go to originally.

I came from London to Amsterdam on a ferry, which is said to be the world's largest high-speed fairy. It had 2 restaurants, 4 theaters, a night club, a casino, and and a bar. I lost 0.40 Euro on slots :-( However, I started drinking beer with a nice Dutch guy who was on a business trip. He had an expense account from his company, so free beer! Of course, that only made my room search harder.

On my search for a room, I happened across the Red Light District. Yes, for anyone wondering, you can window shop for a prostitute if you want!

Anyways, I am off to the Tourist Info hut to get me a map. I will probably visit the Van Gough museum today, and hit a night club this evening.

Still no USB port access. I guess I will have to make a dedicated photo post when I finally get access to one. It's only a matter of time untill I do.

Later.
