“The lasagna in Amsterdam is awesome. Yesterday, we went for a walking tour of the
city. Our guide was so animated that we
began to wonder if she had visited a coffee shop right before the tour
began. We learned that the Dutch have a
long history of social reform. We crossed canals, sampled fine cheeses, and saw
a house just 1.8 meters wide (the man who lives inside is taller than that!) After
the tour we wandered around for a while to soak up the city, exploring shops,
books, chocolate, bridges and other neat stuff. This morning we mustered the
courage to enter the Anne Frank house.
It was really intense and quite sobering to reflect on the atrocities
committed during the war. Afterwards we
cheered ourselves up with a visit to the site of the first flea market (there's
still one I operation today) and some warm coffee in a leaning rickety old
building that was once a gatehouse for a canal.
After that, we visited the waterfront to see Renzo Piano's Nemo. Then we went for a ride on a canal boat
before winding down at the hostel over some delicious nachos. Life is good.” – Bryan, Trip Leader
