Travel Tips Please - Amsterdam

I'm heading off to Amsterdam in a few weeks with a mate for the weekend and I've just been checking out flights.

I can get a returnn ticket that suits my times etc with EasyJet for £80 (incl taxes etc). Is that a pretty good deal? Any other options I can look at?

I want to leave on Friday the 20th and return Monday the 23rd.

My son flies with thomson fly from Coventry for about £40 when he goes to visit his gf. He usually books ahead by a few weeks so £80 sounds about right for short notice really.

Friday out and Sunday/Monday returns are also the busiest, so that's not a bad price at all.

Don't have the 'Special Cake'............

I 'lost' about 18 hours of my weekend after 'sampling' some in a 'coffee bar'

Have fun mate.

Just have a good safety check over your higher bikes. I take it you will be riding round to fit plenty in.

£69 for the fight A

That's a good number that in-it. You'll be seeing that number a lot this year

I read elsewhere your off to practice riding in the sun very nice.

If you can avoid the inebriated gangs of British stags then Amsterdam is a very cool place to be. Cafe Baba on Warmoesstraat is my favourite. Just try not to get run over by a swarm of bicycles.

ahem, been caught have we Sir ?

Hey, what happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam

It's quite a good game doing a tour of the (ever decreasing) red light district playing 'Spot the Bloke'. Oh, and don't take photographs... unless you want to get beaten up by transvestite prostitutes - and not in a good way.
