Smoked salmon and Newcastle

Very little makes me happier than free food and drink. The BA club puts American to shame.

British ingenuity

Why do the British make things twice as difficult? I flush twice anyway. Do I have to flush 4 times?

Last call

Here's to Amsterdam, my new favorite city

Bug boat

On the city ring after dinner

Kat

My dinner date just arrived

Near houseboat museum

Charming 't Zwaantje where I'm having Oma's Dutch stewing steak

Water bedroom

One of many houseboats lining the canals

Next to filmmuseum

Pretty pond and trees

Promenade

Lots of bikes and walkers in central park. No joggers. [Actually, there were quite a few joggers farther down the lane]

50-50

This is the bike lane. Trams on rail and cars share the other. On other streets, it's split into thirds

Late night

Magical train take me to bed

Choo

Is this where they keep the trains?

Gift shopping for wooden shoes

I wonder if you can exchange them if they don't fit? Mark is a very picky eater.

Whoopsie!

What a strange loo

What's on the menu?

Strange name for a restaurant

Sportswear

I like this art museum

Is this a sex club?

Big ass building all lit up

Other Side Cafe

Good shit, man. Hey Peter, thanks for the tip.

Space Muffin unpictured

Skunk joint

HH&H

Is my hair on fire?

Topsafe

Vending machine at grocery store

Dinner time

I decided to bypass the strangely numerous Argentinian grills and pizzarias

Fish and quips

Even something Mark can eat

Centrum

Al fresco deco

Table for one

I find this scene very inviting. Where's Mark with my damn beer? I hate traveling alone

Leidsekruis Straat

Many blocks of cute streets with every cuisine

Max Euweplein Centrum

Making the right moves

Erin van go braugh

Never seen an Irish pub like this

Puff the magic dragon

Nice kitty kitty

Near Holland Casino

One of many bridges

Toilet tease

Don't get any bright ideas.

Slow morning

Garden outside conference hall. I will be looking at it a lot since I'm stationed next to it

Dutch wake-up call

Since I sleep naked, perhaps I should be concerned?

Good landmark

Near the castle-ly thing with water

Golden Hinder

A big ship that they roll out for special occasions

Dear Kitty

Accidentally coming across Anne Frank's secret annex quieted me. Horrible. Have things gotten much better?

Friendly city

Excuse me, ma'am, can you tell me where a club called The Cockring is?

Upon the river Amstel

Rents in the city of a million range from 200-3000 euros weekly

3 meters deep

Boat is a good way to see the city of a thousand bridges. Actually, there are 2300 or more.

Cruise

Lots of canals here

RIJKSMUSEUM

Some sort of castle-ly thing with water.

Dorint doors

A very modern hotel with my name and music on the tv to greet me! Music in the bathroom too...but the tub doesn't drain.

Hotel window view

So this is Holland?

Dorint sofitel Amsterdam

At last a bed

Empty train

They're faster and bumpier than I expected

Station entrance

New service begins in 5 terminals just as Delta vacates most of Terminal E

Skylink

New 5-mile elevated train at DFW
