I went to Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, and I went with my parents, my brother, and

his best friend. I travelled by airplane, and we stayed in a hotel.

On the first day, we went on a little canal cruise, to get to know better the city, it was beautiful
seeing those people with their different mores.
On the other days, we saw the Anne Frank house, but we didn´t come in, because there was a
huge queue, we went to the red light street, there´s a church, Oude Kerk, for centuries, that
receives cultural events, we also visited the flower market, and we went to the Zaanse Schans, it
´s a rural area, where in the old days had windmills that made oils, nowadays those windmills
are just a tourist attraction.
On the last day we went cycle, because it´s something that everyone in Amsterdam do and we
wanted to experience that. There was a moment where my brother´s best friend turned to the
wrong way, and the streets of Amsterdam are a mess, because it has the traffic light for bicycles,
cars and people, so he couldn´t just come to the other way, where we were, it was very funny.
Amsterdam was definitely one of my favourite places that I visited, and I truly recomend it.
