After having pancakes for breakfast, we rented some bikes and rode out of the center of the city and to a place called Amstel Park. It was a pretty relaxing ride considering the chaos that we saw yesterday. After about 25 mins, we arrived at the park and decided to explore.
The main reason I made Nicole do this with me is because I did extensive research on the locations of windmills in the area. If I'm going to go to the Netherlands, I expect to see windmills! If I'm going to be deprived of seeing people wearing wooden shoes, so help me, I will find that windmill. After breathing a sigh of relief when it came in to view, we walked in to the rest of the park.
There definitely weren't as many tourists here as in the city. I got some falafel from a stand. Nicole (and her stomach) cringed at the large amount of hummus dumped on my plate. Despite passing a stand that sold ONLY ham, she opted for a granola bar to snack on.
Nicole had done some research last night and saw there was a place in the park called "Midget Golf." This was clearly something we had to try. Apparently it's just a politically incorrect way to describe putt putt, but do you see that windmill?! Two in one day! I narrowly edged out Nicole by a couple strokes. There was a sand trap that did her in.
We had to return our bikes by 5, so we headed out. Now we face the daunting task of finding a place to eat. It is, however, the last time we will have to do this. I thought Nicole might fancy a nice ham, but it seems she is now on a kosher diet.
