How We Got the Golden Ticket in Amsterdam

We rode our bikes to the train station and caught the train to Amsterdam on our fifth day in the Netherlands. My in-laws live about an hour outside of the city.  It was an overcast day, but the rain held off until we went home.

When we arrived, the train station was bustling with people going everwhere. The train station felt familiar - it had the same vibe as any large station in North America.  The floors were white and sparse, there were stores and food outlets in the hallway below the platform, the scents and smells you expect in a big city.  The building, from the outside, was absolutely stunning.
