Arrived in Amsterdam and headed to Silodam, a former wheat storage facility overlooking 't IJ, the river. When the storage facility was no longer in use, squatters moved in and during the 70s developed it into an artist community and cultural hub. These same people saved it from demolition and it was converted to a luxury condo development just before the turn of the millenium.Headed to the College Hotel, a former school built in 1894 that is now a luxury hotel run as a training school for those in the hospitality industry, and then checked out the nightlife at hip Reguliersdwarsstraat behind Amsterdam's famous Flower Market.
