Was in Amsterdam here in May 2006.
Coffeeshops and Window shopping all over.
Made a homepage with some pics for another
purpose - but it might be of some interest to
rec.travel.europe readers as well?

Of course we are interested in trip pictures.

The second is nicer, not having ads along the side, but the URL is:

http://mineting.125mb.com/Amsterdam/amsterdam.htm

Did Marco recover just fine? Or did he stay behind?

Nahh, I don't agree with that.

Please try out the 125mb site - if the first site doesn't work:
http://mineting.125mb.com/Amsterdam/amsterdam.htm

I have now checked out again
http://www.geocities.com/sheepxpower.../amsterdam.htm
from two different logins - no broken links, and all pictures available.
But I do realize that connections to free sites can be shaky.

We roamed the streets of Amsterdam on May 19, 20 and 21. Besides the
rain and wind, it is a wonderful city to walk around.

I was thinking about something. They say the largest crime in
Amsterdam is bicycle theft. People say they pay more for the lock than
the bicycle. Wouldn't it be better if everyone took the locks off all
the bicycles and when you needed a ride just take one. I'd bet it
would all work out in the end.

I'll take the bet.
Nobody would ever repair a bicycle. And who would ever buy a new bicycle
in the first place?

Oh dear. 'The COmmons' strikes again. Of course you could make free
bicycles a public service.

You guys stopped the whole ocean from coming in. Surely you could work
out little details like that.

You guys managed to shoot people to the moon decades ago. Surely, you can
get around without hoping for a free bicycle to pop up.

[tipping his hat, and glad to see Cathy report on her trip...many of the
regulars here didn't expect her to do so.]

It's been tried in Amsterdam and it failed the bikes were stolen.

A word of warning to anybody borrowing a free bike in the Hoge Veluwe
National Park. If you leave a borrowed bike unattended don't expect it
to be still there when you return.

I suspect naive expats provide most of the bikes in Holland.
