Took a bus into Amsterdam today and our hotel. Apollo museum, it has anice lobby. We are in the room you cannot get to, you go to floor 2 onthe lift, walk to the end of the hall, take the stairs(ladder) up to alanding with 4 rooms, we do have the street side window.
Wandered about a bit yesterday. This place reminds us of Disneyland only real.Hundreds of tourists wandering about the magic kingdom shopping andseeing the sights. We visited the old church which dates to the 1600s.There was an organ recital that night and the performer was rehersing sowe got a free concert while visiting.
We had what we were told was a traditional Dutch lunch. Smoked herringfrom a street vendor and onversneden (the local gin like drink).
The green contraption is an outdoor urinal. Just kind of wander in and let fly. I've only seen guys go in to use it so far. There is a bit of an odor

Sad to see you are on vacation in NL and spend your days drinking street gin and watching the men's room door.
