Glad to know you guys liked some shots.
I recommend Amsterdam, nice food, tons of museums, easy commuting, safe city (with minor pickpockets, just pay attention), active night life, weed is free to smoke, prostitution/red light district.
Since I don't carry a laptop when travelling, I can't send the postcards immediately. :-/
Eddie, september seems about right to go there, weather is probably more stable and not cold as it is now. I stayed at Nicolaas Witsen Hotel, well located and can do most stuff by feet. You can also rent bikes or book tours there. It has breakfast, internet, 24h front desk, quiet.
