Get records was also good.
Our trip went really well, a lot to write home about as one could put it.
Those cyclists and steep stairs in the old houses are fucking lethal though...

hehe, usually tourists are complaining about the trams running straight through pedestrian areas like in the leidsestraat, but the stairs are just as dangerous indeed:
in case nobody told you, the reason for the tall and sometimes extremely narrow houses lies in the fact that in the old days property taxes where based on the width of the front of the house. length and height didn't matter, so for that reason people kept their houses narrow and tall. the narrowest house is only about a meter wide at the front!
