Heading to Amsterdam, Netherlands! (days 7&8 of traveling)


From Paris we headed to Amsterdam by train.  When we go there we couldnt get into our hostle right away so we sat at a bar down the street and had a few brews.  after we moved in, we got our warm clothes on and headed to the Anne Frank house. (top picture) It was so cool!  We learned a lot about the franks and the holocaust in general.  After that we went to dinner had a couple drinks and walked around town. We did happen upon the red light district.  We were very scared but curious at the same time! We walked up one block and back and got ourselves out of there! It wasn't scary, just weird.  Amsterdam was a very safe place, just soo different. going into the stores i noticed there were a lot of americans working there so they could smoke the reefer and it be legal!  It was completely different.

The next day we headed to the Van Gough museum.  very cool paintings!  After that we went to the Heineken House! SOOOOOO cool! You have to go there!  At the end of the tour you have two choices- you can either have 2 beers or learn how to pour the perfect heineken and drink the beer you pour so of course I choose that one! It was very fun!
After the heineken house we headed back towards our hostle doing a little shopping.  3 of the fab girls we were trveling with had to take a train out that night to brussles so they could go to rome.  maggie and i were going to london the following day so we stayed the night.  After we dropped them off at the train station mag and I just walked around got dinner then I passed out at 9pm!  It was a good slumber! In the morning we were off to London!!
