AMSTERDAM
Amsterdam is amazing. Few things that we did-
1.0 Practicalities
1.1 Money
1 EUR = 1.34 USD = .80GBP: Bring USD in 100’s, 50’s &
20’s. Bring GBP in 50’s and 20’s. Traveler’s checks are not used
frequently.
1.2 Communication
Spain uses a standard GSM mobile system. If you have an
unlocked phone for the UK or India you may purchase a SIM Card and insert it in
your phone. Inbound calls are free. Many UK GSM’s will have a reasonable Roam
Spain plan for data and voice. US Phones will work but roaming voice and data
will be expensive. Suggest that you bring and use personal smartphones in
wireless mode and turn on phone only for texting or emergency calls. If you
have a small laptop, iPad/tablet or smartphone then you can connect from Skype
(or similar) at any wireless point.
1.3 Intra City Transportation
Please budget approximately 6€/ day for a metro pass. If you are out late at night alone or in a
small group, its best to take a cab. All the cities we went had reliable cabs
that use meters
