We woke up and as a group made our way into town to a local art museum. We were supposed to go to the van Gough museum but I don't feel like that much was lost on the last minute change.
We saw very interesting pieces as well and artifacts from the past.
After the museum we made our way to the flower market. Amsterdam is famous for their tulips and other flowers. I almost bought bulbs but I didn't think I would have room in my suitcase so thought better of it.
Then it was lunch time so I ordered a Dutch classic, porfrjiches the Dutch pancake.
Finally it was time for something I have really been looking forward to! The tour of the Anne Frank House, which is where Anne and her family hid during WWII.
We weren't allowed to take pictures but the experience was still worth every penny. We got to see the places that Anne talked about in her journal and see the bookshelf the door was hidden behind. We also got to see the original journal Anne wrote in.
It was such an amazing experience. I wouldn't trade it in for anything.
After that it started to rain so we escaped into a restaurant called Sara's Pancake House. I again had the Dutch pancake with some tea, I just couldn't say no.
We browsed some shops then made our way back to the hotel grabbing some fast food on the way.
Today was such a great day! I feel like we accomplished and experienced so much in such a small amount of time. And tomorrow is Paris! I feel so blessed!
