My late wife I spent a wonderful week in Amsterdam in the summer of 1964, and we had some of the best experiences there of our entire European trip (our first). I still remember the wonderful food and the pastries "met slagroom" (lots of whipped cream for you non-Dutch speakers!). The people were wonderful; and the only negative I remember was the experience of almost being wiped out by the bicyclists "sneaking up" on one in Dam Square :-). Enjoy your visit!
