July 30: Amsterdam

After a workout and breakfast, it was off to Amsterdam.  We made it to the city while most people were still sleeping. We quickly browsed at a flea market and then I went into the sex museum by myself — a bit of a weird experience.  A few exhibits of Marilyn Monroe — learned that she had a higher IQ then John Kennedy and also there was suspicion that the Kennedy’s had her killed.  Other than that lots of nude bodies, pornography, and very large penises.  

We hightailed it out of Amsterdam and headed to a marina town where we rented bikes and rode to Marten Island, Volendam.   We made it all the way to the lighthouse before turning around for the return trip.  In all, we completed about 20 miles in a little over 4 hours. After the ride, we walked along the Main Street that was jammed with cool bars and restaurants.  We passed on all the tasty treats except for splitting an average waffle.

Both exhausted, we went back to the same campsite, showered and collapsed.
