In a shocking revelation this week – I found video footage from our first trip to Amsterdam! Okay, “shocking” is an overly dramatic way to put it (the quality of the video clips, however – now that’s shocking!).

I’m just gonna jump right into this one! First off, dump all your things at your hotel/hostel/flat/friend’s flat and head on out to the city.
