Art-Filled Day in Amsterdam for the European Grand Tour Trekkers


We spent the majority of the day walking through the rooms of the Rijksmuseum, following clues and instructions for an escape the room game (although it was really a break into the room game). The ultimate goal of the game was to break into a room and find the secret message, but first we had to find secrets hidden all around the museum. We had to match keys to letters, climb under benches, and find symbols within modern paintings and sculptures. Including a lunch/nap break, we took 7 hours to complete it (because we can’t back down from the challenge of doing expert level). Overall, a very art-filled day. We ended the day with some outdoors cooking. We’ve had a lot of fun in Amsterdam and are sad to leave. In two days we will be back in England.
