Day 8 - 20euro cab ride?

On Friday we woke up early to pack up our bags (which are filling up more and more each day we are here) and head off to Amsterdam. We caught an 11:18 train, and the ride was only 3 hours. They didn't even check our passport. When we got to Amsterdam the first thing we did was book our train to Prague. Then we hopped in a cab to the hotel because we were too tired to try and figure out Amsterdam subway system and according to google maps, our hotel was only 2 miles from the train station. However, our cab ride took like 15 minted and ended up costing 20 euros. Eek!

After we settled in, we decided to take a walk around Amsterdam and grab a bite to eat. Amsterdam is much different than I pictured it. I always thought it was a crazy city with drugs, alcohol, and prostitues everywhere and a few museums. However, it's a beautiul very European city, and you would have to seek out the drugs and crazy stff if you want to see it.we ate dnnr at a steakhouse on a cute street and then had some ice cream in the park. We decided to have a early night in because we were really tired and wanted to be fully energized for a big day the next day.
