“ walking up a hilly street” in Amsterdam how funny
- technothrasher 5y agoOk, so it wasn't Lombard Street... Relatively hilly? Is that better?
- jtwaleson 5y agoThere are literally zero hills in Amsterdam. Some sloped surfaces maybe, but no hills.
- jschulenklopper 5y agoThe roads over some bridges across the canals in Amsterdam can be considered steep... but only for 10 meters :-)
- technothrasher 5y agoDang, I've been trying to find the street on Google street maps to see just how slopped it was, but it was too long ago now and I can't remember which street it was. The facts that it was near a pot cafe and a wooden shoe store really don't help.
- brnt 5y agoThere's a song that describes the bridges over the canals as Dutch mountains.
- jschulenklopper 5y agoClose, but not correct. The song _In the Dutch Mountains_ (by The Nits) refers to the dykes, not the bridges. By the explanation of the author, Henk Hofstede, the only Dutch mountains are the dykes (dams) and the only valleys the streets between the rows of houses.
