I just came back from a city trip to Amsterdam with my friends. We stayed in the center of Amsterdam at the Victoria Hotel which is located on the Damrak, the main street leading from the Amsterdam Train Station to Dam Square.

This week I had two of my nieces coming to stay with me and my husband so we decided to take them out on day trip to the zoo.

My friends and I wanted to go somewhere in Europe to spend a weekend away and had to choose from Prague, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Budapest.

After a few days we decided to leave for the Netherlands to spend an unforgettable weekend in Amsterdam!

It was January 2007 and after a two hour flight we had arrived at Schiphol Airport. The hotel in Amsterdam was comfortable...
