Directions
Fly to Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam (AMS). Take the train from the station inside the airport to Centraal Station (about 15 minutes and 5 Euros). From Centraal Station, exit the rear doors and head towards the water. Once you arrive at the only street, go left and walk down to where the blue ferryboats are docked. Take the last boat on the left, next to the benches. Upon arriving on the other side, walk off the boat and up the street, go right at the first street, and the Skatepark is on the left in an old industrial building.
Hotels
Hotels in Amsterdam tend to be expensive and hard to find at the last minute. If you are coming, take a look at www.booking.com and get a leg up on reserving a room! Generally, you will want to be in or around Centraal Station. If not, be aware when you make the reservation and verify the location of the hotel. Otherwise it could be a big surprise!
Notes
* Bikes are a great way to get around the city quickly and can be rented everywhere
* KLM and Transavia are both Dutch airlines who have many flights in and out
