I didn't like Amsterdam very much. I went there because it felt like I should as a cyclist, but it felt more like going to LA to see the cars. It was also very expensive and I think the loneliest I felt on the trip. I got very used to pub culture in Ireland and the UK, but it is different in a way that makes it harder to talk to strangers in the Netherlands and Germany. I liked Zwolle, cool city walls, and much more my speed size wise.
