Today we had lunch with Enno and his family. He is the first to have purchased a Bike Friday in
Holland, and since has become a part-time distributor for the bicycles. Bike Friday had responded that the trailer wheel
can survive with the damage we reported, but upon replacing our wheel with the one Enno brought us, we discovered yet another,
larger crack. So we are only keeping the old as an emergency spare.
We then toured the Van Gogh Museum. It was our first museum - but we have now found out that it was twice as expensive
as any of the others we've seen, and would only recommend it if you really like impressionist paintings.
After the museum, we tried unsuccessfully to drop off our GeoCache Travel Bugs here. This has been our third unsuccessful
attempt. Sadly, we could find only one listed GeoCache within 4 miles of Amsterdam Centrum which was reported to be
large enough to hold the Travel Bugs. It was a multi-cache, which meant we had to find 4 other locations before knowing
where the Cache itself was hidden. But like one we searched for in London, there was no cache at the final coordinates.
So far we've found only one cache - in London. But while it was listed as a normal sized cache, it was too small to
hold a Travel Bug.
All in all, it was not our best day. We continue to find Amsterdam a dirty, noisy, crowded town. Large urban
areas are not our favorite places.
