cle of Dutch pride. Instead, we came in on Friday night and stayed through Sunday afternoon. For more on Queen's Day:It was good to get out of London for a couple different reasons - the weather and the expense. London definitely lives up to its reputation as one of the more expensive cities in the world. I 
imagine, even after hotel, I spent about as much going out in Amsterdam for the weekend that I would have in London. Anyhow, Amsterdam is a great city with much more to offer than drugs and the red light district. It's a mess of bikes, vlammes fritjes (french fries, typically served with globs of mayonnaise), parks, museums, canals, and people from all over the world. Interesting fact: There are more bicycles in Amsterdam than actual residents. Residents number almost 800,000.
