Mastering Amsterdam

So we have been here for two days now and have pretty much walked down every street there is in Amsterdam! It is really interesting if you look at a map, all the streets are curved, not straight and go around the canals, so it is easy to get lost and you can't even try to pronounce the names, but we have gotten really familiar with the monuments!
After dodging all the business workers on their bikes (it is pretty insane) we kicked off our morning with a wonderful little one woman run pancake house, which means crepes... mmmmm! Luckily it didn't rain today so we got adventure some more and try new spots. We walked more and than souvenir shopped, typical tourists!!! We than explored the great Vondel Park, it is so big and really beautiful.
Than the Heineken Experience, which surprising was quite fun, little long, but the best part was included in your ticket price was two and a half beers, feeling pretty good after that!
We were than off to the Anne Frank House, it took a few turns to find, but felt great to walk to the front of the line with our online tickets; most of the people waiting in line couldn't even make it in! It was a pretty amazing experience to see it, so much in such a little space and so much history to go behind all of it. Sobered us up, but was great!
After crawling to a little Irish Pub (because our feet were killing by this time), we had some great food and made our way back to the room. Only 1040pm, still light out, but tired! We might hit the bar in our hotel.
Tomorrow we are off to Delft were they make the blue and white pottery.
Thanks for following!!! P.s. We miss our Burton, lots of doggies here and they can go inside everywhere!

  1. Sounds like you guys are cramming in a lot in a short time, but how else do you see all that you can. My feet would be so sore that I would probably have to stay in the Hotel Bar and SUCK up the sights from in there. Good job Crystal in relaying the experience well done, and you just started.

    Love

    PS. Happy Memorial Day.
