I found that in Prague too, mostly because the language was so different and unfamiliar to me.katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024345906273810543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-28065406584470446732010-05-10T01:10:06.394-04:002010-05-10T01:10:06.394-04:00Glad to see I am not the only one who has a new fo...Glad to see I am not the only one who has a new found appreciation for the city. Perhaps the moral of the tale is that backpackers should start in Amsterdam and not at the end of their trip :) And yes, we are now eager to take our kids back for a longer visit.<br /><br />Jocelyn, keeping my fingers crossed that something solidifies soon for your guys.

I've been pretty, well, bummed (that's one way to express it). We've been wading through frustrating waters with Prague folks, too (sounds like it may be a miss) and have been attempting to get something lined up for maybe Australia. But as of today, we are in May, with no plan, lots of hours of attempts behind us, and trying to figure out Plan X. Och.<br /><br />During it all, you've been the class act that has reminded me what I'm hoping for. Thanks for that!<br /><br />Oh, and when I hit Amsterdam during college, my friends and I stayed on a hostel in a houseboat...and ended up packing ourselves out of there at 6 a.m., after a nightmare of a night.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227519811818290510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-19742485028324989122010-05-08T14:14:46.422-04:002010-05-08T14:14:46.422-04:00I had a very similar relationship with Amsterdam. ...I had a very similar relationship with Amsterdam. The first time, at the end of a 10 week backpack trip, so tired I suppose that we didn't even really didn't give it a go.<br /><br />I didn't want to go back at all but it's such a flight hub in Europe you almost can't avoid it. The last time we ended up there, we spent some more quality time with it and found it quite charming and interesting. I have since learned that it boasts a Design Museum! And now I need to go back again. <br /><br />Love your pics.<br />: )<br />jackie.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890994273071235037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-18182766410397743592010-05-07T12:09:01.286-04:002010-05-07T12:09:01.286-04:00We absolutely loved Amsterdam when we went with ou...We absolutely loved Amsterdam when we went with our kids. We found that it was one of the cities that we felt most welcome with our kids out of all of the cities we visited on that trip.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15447724113848409074noreply@blogger.com
