The A Train

Our hotel was called The A Train Hotel and - surprise, surprise - it had a dominant train theme. There were tracks down the hallway and train bench seats in the lobby. It was located just across the street from Central Station in the center of Amsterdam. The people were very friendly, and being in the heart of the city, it turned out to be a very convenient place to stay. After a much-needed nap, and some waffles with milk and white chocolate sauce and powdered sugar for supper, we stopped in a few souvenir shops. We were planning to take an evening canal cruise, but shortly before it gets dark here, the fog tends to roll in, and so we wouldn't have been able to see anything. Since Amsterdam is located on the water, the nights and early mornings are very foggy. The canal cruise would have to wait until tomorrow.
