:: How easy was to find the hotel?
Krasnopolski is in the very heart of the city and 10 min walk from the central station. We must say that we were pleasantly surprised how convenient the transportation system is.
:: What is the first thing you did when you got to Amsterdam?
We went for a walk on the canals.
:: Did you get to rent a bike and the city that way ?
We did not rent bikes but did get the chance to risk our life on it ( http://www.ohlalaparis.com/ohlalaparis/2006/02/amsterdam.html )... It takes some time to get used to it, but we suggest not to share the bike (always get your own), as being 2 on the same one is a challenge...
:: Did the weather effect your trip in any way?
It was really cold, but that's not a big deal when you are dressed well
:: What did you think about the Amsterdam before the trip?
We did not have a positive image even though all people we know kept telling us that it is a great place.
:: Did your feelings about A'dam change because of the trip?
Oh YES. We have discovered one of the most exciting cities on earth. There is so much to see, experience, and live, that one week was too short... We will definitely go back really soon.
:: How were the Duch?
Sexy, and amazingly friendly The service is great too.
:: How did you readers react when they learned about your trip?
We have received hundreds of e-mails with suggestions whet to see and do. We have made our plan for the week from all those e-mails... Now we are getting e-mails with questions where to go...lol but we keep posting info on the site about the trip...
:: Did you have any great meals?
There are all kinds of food and restaurants, but we did particularly like the Envie (see the link http://www.manchic.com/manchic/2006/02/envy_one_of_the.html ). Great design, innovative food, nice crowed, ...
:: Do you have any recommendations about things that first timers should definitely do?
We will keep our Amsterdam Page on the site updated with all the tips and recommendations.
