In September, 1999, after playing in the Ultimate World Championships in Scotland, we had to go to Amsterdam to catch our flight to Botswana. We took a supposedly luxury ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam ("supposedly" because every public space on the ship was rank with cigarette smoke, so we couldn't really enjoy it), met up with a friend in Amsterdam, and spent a couple of days there before our flight.

Amsterdam was fairly pleasant. Just as we've heard, lots and lots of people ride bikes for transportation there. We took a nice ride on a canal tourboat, visited a flower market, etc. We skipped the very crowded Van Gogh museum, and did not visit a diamond wholesaler, either.

I have a few decent photos from Amsterdam, but realistically I'm not sure I'll get around to putting most of them on my site. Click the links on the left to see a couple of them. If you've got a burning desire to see more, email me and maybe I'll scan in a few more.
