Amsterdam (Part III)

So everyone I talked to said that they stayed in Amsterdam far longer than they had intended, and I must admit that I did as well. First you get the Red light district and tourist areas in, then you start hitting the different bars in Ledensplien and Rembrandtsplien and then you talk to a few bartenders who give you a few recommendations for some really good bars and clubs off the beaten path. This is what my travel mates had been up to while I was down in Heidelberg.
We had moved hotels from the depressing and smelly hotel that we had been in to a Marriott using the guys' points. After dropping off my bags, we headed out to one of the clubs that had been recommended by pretty much everyone that they had talked to. We checked out this venue called Paradisio which had a pretty cool concert going on that night. They had a mix of electro, techno, reggeton, and the weird electronic noise music that was playing as we left. Add in 2 more helpings of croquettes at dinner and at 3 am, and I was good.
Some hotel buffet breakfast and then it was off to the train station for Cologne.
