This Is Why We Love Amsterdam So Much

- We now always make it a point to have longer layover to have the opportunity to explore a new city somewhere in the world. This time, we have 10 hours in the Netherlands after landing in Amsterdam on our way to Portugal.
I have to say, we truly crushed it on this Amsterdam layover! It all started with a quick train ride to Zaanse Schans, a Dutch Windmill village not too far from the city. This place was simply stunning and is in fact a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the cheese, the hot chocolate and of course, the beautiful sights it is a must do when in the Holland.
From there, we made it all the way back, by train, once again downtown Amsterdam to visit their largest market named Albert Cyup Markt. While walking around there we decided to make up our own Netherlands street tour and it all started with the best Stroopwafle in Amsterdam at Rudi's. It was AMAZING!!!
Now, before leaving, I had to go check out the world famous Amsterdam Red Light District. It`s the kind of place that you hear about online and in movie and I was very curious. Well, it was as expected, don't take your kids there and if you have something to celebrate, ENJOY!

Hahaha. It made my day when you tried to explain the red light district and keep it family-friendly at the same time😅. Tracey's reactions were also quite funny 😂. Great video though, as always!👍🏼
Loll this part of Amsterdam doesn't even seem real to be honest! 😅🇳🇱
I appreciate you being so polite and respectful. Intelligent and cheerful people like you are always welcome here in the Netherlands. I wish you a pleasant journey and a good reunion with your family.❤
Wow thank you so much. We really appreciated our day there and can't wait to visit again. 🇳🇱
The story telling with those sound tracks is just amazing, as someone who knows video editing I appreciate how awesome your videos are edited. I Love you guys very much
Wow thank you so so much! :)
Fun grass 😂😂😂😂.
I hope an Amsterdam/ Netherlands series will pop up in the future, this was fun
We will for sure go back but in the mean time, get ready for our 4 videos in Portugal! :D
People like the guy from stroopwaffles are awesome. Y’all make me feel like I’m traveling with anthony Bourdain the way you guys captured him talking and demonstrating.
Keep it up!
Wow, that is quite a nice comparison haha. You're too kind Victor. :p
I love when they are in Europe. It is so nice to see.
Well, we are leaving Kenya in August and will be traveling internationally for a few years so get ready! :)
New subscriber here.
I truly wish both of you greater wealth and success in every possible way.
Peace and love always 💝💝
Welcome aboard! And also, thank you so much for the kind words. :)
Oh, went to those places also 😊
There are many places which have the village look and feel in Holland.
They love their gardens 😊 and fish. Try their fish and chips .... if you are still there.
A lot of the food is inspired by their former colonies. Love it.
My neighbor here in Kenya is from north of Amsterdam.
Thats awesome! We'll make sure to try the fish and chips next time then. :)
Hey, it's great to see how much you guys are loving my home country!Stroopwafels, kaasstengels, gehaktballen, bitterballen, broodje kroketje - they're all amazing, right?
You did not try the raw haring with onion?
Oh, by the way, there's this awesome shop called Lekker on Magadi road. Next to Brood (also from Amsterdam) They sell kroket, frikandel, kaassoufflé and stroopwafels. You should definitely check it out!
Personally, I have a soft spot for the truffle cheese from Henri Willig. You know, the one with the purple wrapping? It's absolutely delicious!
But having Christmas in Zaandam? Nahhhh. We haven't had a white xmas in 27 years. Let me give you a suggestion: Rovaniemi! Trust me, it's so much better!
Thank you so much for all of this! We sadly inly had 10hrs in Amsterdam for a layover but we REALLY want to go back and for sure will!
Hey Dave and Traci Absoulyetly enjoyed this video!
I'm so glad! :)
I remember buying some type of round shaped mandazis in Amsterdam, very nice and tasty.
Super nice indeed.
Guys, first time seeing one of your videos. Aside from the fun video there is some epic filming going on in the first half of the video and I'm not talking about the drone shots (they always look great). And of course the editing is also epic, but the variety of shots (not the subjects but the film techniques used) got my attention right away. My compliments for that.
Dutchies love to see how foreigners experience the Netherlands (although you've only been in the Holland area). I'm 66 year young, always lived in the Netherlands, but I've never been to Zaanse Schans (with the windmills), so thanks for the great shots there.
By the way, I was wondering, did you make the drone shots yourself?
I also fly drones, but there are less and less areas where it's allowed to fly a drone and I believe it's also not allowed to film the Zaanse Schans with a drone.
So it was great to see those shots 👍
Have fun in Portugal 👍
First of all, thank you so much for the kind comment. We had a great day in the Netherlands.
For the drone shots, I normally do everything myself but even tho I do have a EU license, you're right about the restricted flight zone there so I licensed the footage.
New Subscriber! Looked like you had fun figuring the trains out, it took me a second to realise you scan your ticket at the top of the stairs.
I visited Amsterdam recently and loved it. Ended up showing a lot of food places. Next time you go check out the Van Staple cookies.
The train scanning thing is VERY confusing indeed! Haha 😅
Come on guys if you’re serious about visiting my hometown. Try drop, try salmiak, have our salty candy!
Well noted! We shall be back. :)
Stunning.
It really is!
Very nice one 👍🏻 As a former resident of Amsterdam it is always nice to see how people enjoy our beautiful city.
If you want to see very dutch architecture you must visit Marken next time , it’s a former island near Amsterdam with a lot of wooden houses.
If you want good food, try Indonesian cuisine, especially the Indonesian rice table, which has become Dutch heritage. The bitterballen, kroketten and the stroopwafels are snacks. At the Rozengracht there is a very good Indonesian restaurant for instance 😊Amsterdam has many good affordable restaurants , area Utrechtse straat, Jordaan etc. The 9 streets is a beautiful area to walk around. Have fun with your next stay.
Hey thanks a lot for the suggestion as we will most likely be back! :)
My first impression of Amsterdam through your eyes
Windmills ☑️
Bike friendly ☑️
Picturesque☑️
Cheese ☑️
Redlight district- 🛑Need part 2 for proper assessment! 😂
Most of those windmills are in in my hometown Zaandam / Zaanse Schans, it's close but isn't Amsterdam thank God.. haha. But yes. 👍
Hahaha I couldn`t show too too much in the Red Light District as we are trying to stay `Family Friendly`. loll
Close enough tho! :P
Beautiful vlog 🤩😇
Glad you liked it!!!
Love from india 🇮🇳❤❤❤
Cheers my friend! :)
that camera sound and the photograph after "12th century"...
👍🏼
that girl is so nice, she must be Dutch or an athlete or tennis player!!🤗🤗🤗
Haha she is nice :p
Amazing amazing video
Thank you so much 😀
Dutch ❤lifestyle is fascinating 🤨
Fair enough loll
What's the name of that little town with the windmills?
I have a layover of 9 hrs in Schiphol in a few days and want to visit Van Gogh museum. You think I could do the visit to the town too?
Zaanse Schans
Awwww… so great seeing you guys enjoying the Netherlands. ❤ You should come back so you can experience the Red Light District (In Dutch the locals call it *_De Wallen_* ). In the night, please do not film the girlies. During the day you won’t see the shenanigans. 😂
You guys are lucky. The gods of the weather treated you guys great. The weather these days was cloudy snd rainy.
We will 100% be back. We loved our 10hrs there so so much.
This trip was quite romantid...loool.. Now I want to visit Netherlands so baaad!
This is my favorite video so far ❤❤❤
We had such a good day and keep in mind, this was just during a 10hrs layover! Haha
@@DaveMani Loool... I even thought you'd stayed for some while
Next time youre in the Netherlands try "nieuwe haring" (new herring). Its a boneless raw fish with onions. Delicious 😋😋
Well noted! :)
nice vlog
Thank you 😊
That district..eeek. Tracey your face says it all 😅 at least the waffles were great 😃
Haha the Red Light District is quite... unique to say the least! 😅
It is sad the red light district turned into some sort of circus. I lived near Amsterdam as a teenager, about 30 years ago. I sometimes ended up there without noticing. For me it was just a neighbourhood with a very nice atmosphere where people were minding their own business, away from the busy city center. Although there were criminal activities, I never felt unsafe. Now it is full of parties and drunk people, completely disrespectful to the other visitors. I wish they make a red light light district theme park for the tourists, so the real red light district can have a bit of her former charm back. I do not want to turn back time, it was not all nice back then, but I can't imagine anyone wants it like this...
Its not a little river in the middle,its a canal!
Fair point. 👍🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cheers.
I hope your next destination is Bangladesh🥰🇧🇩
We might actually come later this year! :)
@@DaveMani as your wish🥰🇧🇩
In Amsterdam or Holland in general people speak English very well.
True.
Amsterdam is an extraordinary city , the Dutch are most wonderful people. A foodie’s adventure . I have travelled there many times. But for the disrespectful, intimidating treatment by the security people at Schipol Airport each and every time I visited, I am deterred to travel there again.
So sorry to hear that... But don't let a couple people ruine your experience! :) Do you my friend.
I guess that famous street is where one of my friends tried to explain to me that they sell cookies (weed) and some adult 'toys'??!! I was shocked! Like what a different world we live in. In some other countries even by mentioning them you can get arrested!😮
Yeah... It's really wild! 😆
Its better to control it then people shoot each other for it ;p
That district...eeek nice cuntry 😊😊😊😊
It's quite something indeed! :p
👍👍👌💐🌹
Cheers!
Dav is my uncle
Hi dav lol
Haha yes I am :p The coolest uncle actually. 😎👍🏼
Hi
Yes you are
Woow you guys were in Holland, next time stay longer, please. Karibuni
Were there african foodstalls in the market ?
Yes a couple.
There are a sizeable number of Africans especially Somalis and Ghanians.
The rest of the Netherlands call amsterdam disneyland and dont like it at all.
Our country had way more to offer then this ;p
Fair enough. I can see why.
