Third try: >From lmichael Mon Feb 5 12:28:52 2007 Subject: OT: trip to Amsterdam
Pardon me for being off-topic, but perhaps our esteemed list founder or other members of this list can provide input nonetheless. Thank you in advance! My fiancee wants to visit Amsterdam for our honeymoon in first half of June. We always go through Schiphol when we travel to and from Germany, so the inflight Amsterdam information left her curious. The amount of hotels available in that area is - quite frankly - overwhelming to me, and the search options available are sub- optimal to me. We will be traveling by train from Germany. * We like to stay in easy walking distance to the central train station, or near a station with good connection to and from the central train station. * A jacuzzi / whirlpool would be great to have in the room, but as long as the rooms are clean, we don't need much of luxury. Any good reasonably-priced restaurants in that area? Anyones I should stay away from? How is public transportation? Routes, website? As for attractions, we probably will do a harbor / Grachten tour, stroll the pedestrian zone. Perhaps go to the Van Gogh / Rijks museum and visit the parks in the area. Depends on how mobile we are / can be relying on our feet and public transportation. I am also considering to go to Foto Nivo for EOS gear (list topic, ha!), and to Foto Abro (30 mins with train; for LF gear). What else? Any suggestions welcome. Would it make sense to drive with car instead, and perhaps do a daytrip to see the coast or the tulip farms? Perhaps PM to me directly to keep the noise on the list low. Thanks! Lars -- .~.
