At behest and via the courtesy of the Netherlands Board of Tourism, HotelChatter is currently in Amsterdam reporting live on our trips, travels and travails. Enjoy.

HotelChatter has landed safely in Amsterdam early this morning and we were able to find our way to the Lloyd Hotel from the airport riding trains and trams without any problems, which is truly amazing.

Our room at the historic and quirky Lloyd isn't quite ready yet so they gave us one of the hotel's one-star rooms to rest in. The hotel has a variety of rooms ranging from one-star to five-star, which is basically a size category. These one-star rooms have no bathrooms--you have to share at the one at the end of the hall--and are pretty sparse, although we think fairly spacious. In fact, our room at the City Club in Manhattan was smaller.

This is the view from the one-star room 413. As you can see, it's not a pretty day in Amsterdam. But we'll make some fun of it for sure.

We'll update our hotel pics when we can here and report on what's happening in the city over on Jaunted, but we did forget one thing--that camera cord that hooks your digi camera to your computer so until we can find a replacement, we're stuck taking pics with our MacBook like we did with this one.
