I am not done yet, but here are some short thoughts to ponder while I continue to write of my visit to Amsterdam. Attached to the end of this post are the notes I found from my visit to this wonderful city. It will show you why this one is taking longer.

| Cuckoo Clock |
After looking around the town for a while I found myself in a little shop with nothing but watches and clocks. I bought my mother and father a Swiss made cuckoo clock and made arrangements to have it shipped to our home in Mechanicville, New York.
After completing this transaction I went to the train station and got a ticket on the overnight train to Amsterdam. I also called back home and asked my father to mail me enough money to pay for my ferry trip between The Netherlands and England. I cannot remember how much the fare was in 1970.

| Waiting for the train |
I caught the train that evening. After two border crossings and three transfers, I arrived at the Amsterdam train station late the next morning. From there I located the different areas in Amsterdam that were interesting to me and set out to visit the city I had heard so much of during my travels that summer.
