I decided on a Sunday to discover Amsterdam. It is useful to know that Amsterdam is 30min from Alkmaar. There are many train, every quarter of an hour. A train ticket costs 7,50 euros so the all trip costs something like 16 euros with the cost of the ticket card.

Then you arrive in Amsterdam Centraal Station : 

We didn't took the metro because it's easy to visit by foot if you just want to hang out and see the city. The first impression when you arrive is that the streets are crowded. Then after walking and see some funny shops well you realize that this is the city of what is forbidden. And needless to say that the red light district is just crazy. It's funny to see that family roam these streets in total tranquility. You feel disoriented, but it's a nice city. 

However the architecture and canal water form very beautiful landscapes. And I spotted many museum that could be interesting to visit!
