I recommend the truffles and then a walk through Vondelpark

Folks - first of all HOW`AR`ALL`Y'A'LL doin'? I'm sorry I disappeared but, yaknow, Life.

I thought I might kindly, gently, politely ask the FBGs community for some suggestions on travel to:

- The Hague and/or
- Amsterdam and/or
- Bruges

I'm doing all three, conference at The Hague NL, then Beer Pilgrimage to Bruges, then more Beer in Amsterdam, DEP AMS.

This a well traveled (and well drank) community here, perhaps I can rely upon the group brain power that resides here and which can be oh so powerful when called upon Shazzam-like.

Many Thanks - SID

Wow! Welcome back.

I got nothing. Last time I was in Amsterdam I stayed on floating hotel, shared a room with strangers and smoked hash. Good times though.

Hey thank you! Nice to read you too!

Ha sounds like a good trip, I should be so lucky. Perhaps I shall rely on the kindness of strangers.

It ain't cheap but I had one of the best meal experiences of my life in Amsterdam at de Kas - book now

We just went a year ago - did a countryside bike tour in Amsterdam (do NOT get a bike in the city. Whatever you've seen about the bike traffic on the internet is actually WORSE) but the country ride was nice. Did some touristy crap like visit a cheese farm and a windmill. Was very pleasant.

We ultimately decided on Ghent over Bruges for a few reasons. I think one of the reasons was it was closer, maybe. It was a lot of fun and not as touristy as Bruges almost certainly is.

Good to see you, bud.

Highly recommend de Kas! Went there last summer thanks to McBokonon. We rented bikes for a couple days and did a tour in the city and used them for some transportation in the city as well as to the countryside to a windmill and then from there to de Kas and then back to our hotel. Got yelled at once or twice but actually felt safer from the bike traffic on a bike vs being a pedestrian.

Just posted some pics as a follow up in that thread too...

Awesome! Glad you ended up enjoying de Kas! You're a braver man than me for biking in the city - no freaking thanks.

If you like live music check out the schedules at Paradiso, MilkWeg in Amsterdam. Great venues that host great shows.
