Where’s Craig Now?
I’m staying in a Caravan (European word for camping trailer) in a camground outside of Amsterdam called the Lucky Lake Hostel. The hostel and the folks that run it are really great! I highly recommend this place for a cheap way to ‘do’ Amsterdam.
It’s cold and rainy here! Yikes! Amsterdam is interesting to say the least, not the least of which is the Red Light district (sorry guys, they won’t let me take pictures of the girls) and all the coffee houses with legal pot smoking in them. Apparently, the Dutch were trying to address a problem with harder drugs like Cocaine and Heroin, so they legalized soft drugs like marijuana. It’s an interesting experiment. I’m not sure I really get Amsterdam, aside from people coming here for the obvious reasons mentioned above. They definitely have some nice museums…maybe that’s why folks come here.
Having a great time and looking forward to Costa Rica and warmer weather!
