Netherlands trip report — 10 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Uber worked great. Hotel was basic but good location.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Got some good intel from a local.
Days 3-7: Found my favorite spots. Found my rhythm. The downtown area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $50-80 per session. Some room to negotiate.
Tips: Get a local SIM on arrival.
Return? Definitely, now in my regular rotation.

First time there was a learning experience. Second time I knew the ropes and it was much better. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.
