This is our last day in Amsterdam. The previous day, we realized we had only booked 3 nights in Amsterdam, when we really should have booked 5 to catch the bus back. So we decided to go up north and stay in two different towns on the North Sea. We got up early enough to get breakfast before our train left. I got a traditional Dutch meal, pancakes and beer! We caught a train up north and from there we took a bus to Egmond, Netherlands. It was a really nice day and we had a while to walk after the bus dropped us off. It wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have to drag around luggage the whole time.
After checking in, we found out which direction the North Sea was in and we headed toward it. Up and over mountainous dunes of sand and grass we walked. After almost two hours, we found the sea and it was a beautiful sight. After spending time on the beach, we went up to a restaurant and sat on the deck smoking a joint. Apparently, this particular restaurant does not allow smoking on the premises and we got yelled at. Eventually, we talked them down because we wanted to eat there and all was good. The waiter even gave us names of places to go to that night. We were too tired to even think about going out by the time we got back to the hostel and just called it a night early. Edmond is really cute and fun. I liked this part of the trip a lot because there were tulip fields everywhere, as well as little lambs and windmills. Oh, and everyone rides bikes. Everyone.
