Amsterdam
On 29 June I'll be doing a layover in Amsterdam for about 5 hours. I've been told that the airport is interesting - But what else is there to do?

Charlie:
Take a cab from Central Station (no tipping allowed) to the Krasnapolski Hotel. Very near there is the Anne Frank house. The canals are also very near. You might want to go "window shopping". The live sex shops/shows run 24/7. Beer is cheap and frothy. The bartender paddles it for you.

I'm sad to see that some of you can only think of promoting harlotry when Amsterdam is mentioned  Gentlemen, this forum is about military history, remember?!? H.

Sorry Hanno
Seems harlotry and VD are inevitably linked to military history. It has always been so. David

Tour..
Quote:
Harlotry ,while a noble endeavor,is way down near the bottom of the tours available from the Canal Street area..The boat tour is spectacular and there will be some kind of military tour available from some where in the area.. Start your search on you tube.. http://www.youtube.com/user/tamiralu?v=5G-lqrzTv-U This shows the diversity of Amsterdam.. And you can tour the Heiniken plant Heiniken is military 'eh...?? Back in '70 in Sardinia I personally was in charge of keeping the the Iron Doctor(beer machine) full and serviced..at 100 lira..016 US at the time Heiniken was the number one seller..so there is definitely a military slant in our postings..

Charlie,
Apart from the museums Alex mentioned, in another thread I suggested a visit to the Den Hartogh Ford Museum at Hillegom. That's a 20 to 30 min. drive from Schiphol, and you could even take the bus. While there are no military vehicles on display, it is a great place to visit if you have a couple of hours to spend. HTH, Hanno
