out and about in amsterdam
Haarlem
We began our tour in the lovely town of Haarlem where we met our tour group and had a traditional Indonesian rijsttafel dinner. Then our local guide, Ruby, took us around the town and taught us all about the history of Amsterdam. We stayed at the Ambassador City Centre hotel on the Grote Kerk square. The church is home to a very famous organ that both Handel and Mozart played on. The music history nerd in me could not get enough of that space. My only regret is that I was unable to attend a service or recital in the church.
