I fell in love with Amersfoort and disliked Amsterdam but I sure did a lot of walking from one little town to the next. Wish I had a dSLR in those days.

Amersfoort is a great city, Amsterdam is so overrated.
I live in the northern part of the country, so if you ever take a trip this way again I recomend you visit Groningen.

I bought a used giant prodigy a few years ago (cheap on ebay) and have used it to tour state and national parks. I carry a 50mm 1.7, af 1.7 tc, k10d, gorillapod and f* 300mm in a lowepro slingback bag when riding. the gorillapod can be wrapped on the bike rack, seat or handlebars for tripod use. works great! got this eagle shot (cropped) in oscar scherer park, fl last month with this setup:
