The bike-loving city of Amsterdam

As I mentioned in the last blog post so I just come home from Croatia when it was time to go away again, but now to Amsterdam.
I, my wife and a friend of us had long since planned to go on a big house music party with about 45ooo pers so that was the reason for the visit.
Can only say that Amsterdam is a fantastic city with all the canals, boats, bridges and friendly people.
The first thing we noticed  was that it was incredible much cyclists everywhere, it was a great risk of that you could get hit by someone.
But I understand that they want to bike considering that they have thought of the cyclists when they built the roads, there are wide fine bike lanes everywhere.

Sure there are plenty of drugs and the sex industry are there quite openly and legally, that's the big drawbacks.
I mean, there's sex and drugs in other cities as well, but here it is as open as it felt a bit strange to walk around and passive smoking hashish and cannabis. And there is also all these coffeeshops where they sell drogs.
But despite the drugs and the like Amsterdam felt as a safe city with a nice atmosphere.
