On the third day me and my mum and sis went to enjoy some shopping. We went to Esprit fashion outlet located just 15 minutes by metro from Centraal Station (yes Amsterdam does have a metro, but the metro lines are so precisely hidden that you can easily overlook them). I could definitely recoment to visit this shop, because you can find there some good quality pieces for really reasonable price. After successful shoping time we go back to the city where mum and sis rent a bike. Than I had to take a care of them and get safely through the city to the Museumplein where we were about to meet with Jan. Thanks to the tulip museum the museumplein was decorated with plenty of different kinds of tulips and it looked amazing. When we picked up Jan we bcycled to the Vondelpark to show them the beauty of biking through this big park. Then we continued towards Amsterdam- Noord all the way to the Purmerend. It was a nice ride alongside Noordhollandsch Kanaal, but as we were aproaching Purmerend we got little bit scared by not seeing any bridge which would take us to the other side of the canal, there were just cable ferries, but because it was later in the evening they were not there. So obviously we were relieved when we finally saw the bridge just right at the edge of Purmerend city.
The next day me and Jan made the same trip again to meet ap there mum and sis, look around the city and then cycle back to Amsterdam to return their bikes. The weather was beautiful,so I managed to burn/tan my nose, face and hands, thanks to that lots of people in Denmark were asking me where did I go for the holiday. :) The funny thing is that during those two days we did something what people (especially in my country) like to call " my first spring 100 kilometres on bike". But I do not consider it as a sport anymore, for me biking is now just the way how to get easily from the point A to the point B. While cycling we were also able to admire little farms and fields with hers od cows, sheeps and horses, everything was so picturesque and beautiful.
