We're wrapping up the first day of our vacation and Kirstyn and i are both exhausted! She was able to fall asleep for a few hours on the plane ride here, but i wasn't able too. Partially because I think I was a little too excited,and partially because I was busy watching movies and playing games.
Once we landed everything went pretty smoothly getting to our hotel. Also, much to my surprise, we didn't have to fill out any paperwork entering the country. Even when I've been to Mexico recently, I've had to fill out several forms. One issue we did have was trying to purchase a train ticket from the airport to Amsterdam's Central station. We both picked up Capital One credit cards for the trip so save on international processing fees, but when we tried to us them it asked us for a PIN as if we were using a debit card. I purposely did not set up a PIN because is did not want to stat taking out cash advance with a credit card. Luckily, we were able to use my debit card and the Capital One card has been good at every other location since.
We got into the hotel a bit early and they were able to accommodate us by holding our bags until the room was ready. From there we ventured out to find the Vodaphone store to pick up a prepaid SIM card so we could make cheap calls while traveling. This allowed us to meet up with Nick and Gabrielle and start our site seeing. Dam Square was a good meeting point and spent a most of the day wandering the city with the occasional stop for beer/coffee/food. We tried to get into the Heineken experience, but we slighly late for the last tour and will have to try again tomorrow.
