Biking to the Cheese & Clog Factory-
Amsterdam Countryside

A

I can't imagine a better way to see Amsterdam than by bike. Seeing as practically everyone rides bikes in Amsterdam, it was a real highlight experiencing it firsthand? and most of all it was fun. We took a 4 ½ hour bike tour through Rembrantplein, Leidseplein, and the countryside to visit a cheese and clog factory where we bought some cheese and where I tried to convince Kim that clogs were the latest fad. j/k. On the way back we stopped at a dutch windmill and and rode through Vondelpark. Amsterdam is truely a marvelous city. Mike was our amazing tour guy who gave us a really good history of the city among other interesting insights, and made the trip very worthwhile.
