Amsterdam Museums



Visited the Rijkmuseum and the Van Gogh. They are both near our hotel and are the most popular attractions around. The Rijksmuseum is mostly about Dutch hitory and the golden age of artists. They have the Rembrants and such. The Van Gogh has some of his contemporaries too.


Did the boat tour also which is pretty crazy. They come under a bridge and crank a right turn into the next canal in a space about the length of the boat. Lots of house boats and just regular boats parked around. I haven't seen a Lund or Crestliner yet. I wonder how you reserve a spot, or if you even can.


We have a compass now which started the game "which way is north?". Everything is so curved a compass really helps get around. I guess gps would be better but this will do.


Pannekouken for breakfast and pizza with a knife and fork for supper.
