Amsterdam

Today we visited Amsterdam.  It was nice, but we had to wake up way too early to catch the train (around 7).  We were tired as you can see and slept on the train:


The train ride was fairly long - about 2-2.5 hours, so we slept on the train.  Once we got to Amsterdam, it was around noon, so we grabbed a quick lunch near the central square.

We had some Amsterdam beer

I had a garlic steak.  It was ehhh...

After walking around the red light district and seeing the various raunchy sights of Amsterdam, we made our way to the Anne Frank house, passing by the Homomonument on the way:


Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed at the Anne Frank house, but I think Kevin snuck some ;).  It was quite a good museum, but didn't discuss much more than just the layout of the house that Anne was hiding in.

After the museum, we took a canal cruise to see some of the beautiful architecture of the city

Our boat

A huge parking garage for bikes



After the canal, we headed home - this was an adventure.  It turned out we had been given the wrong information regarding the train times back to Antwerpen.  We ended up taking a train through Rotterdam back to Roosendaal instead, and my Aunt had to pick us up :/

Once we got home, we had a quick dinner and then headed to bed.
