Stroopwaffles in Amsterdam for the European Grand Tour Trekkers
Today we woke up at a crisp 7:30. Setting off to buy breakfast, we navigated the jungle of bikes that is Amsterdam. After consuming a filling meal of stroopwaffles, clementines, chocolate croissants, and cereal, we made our way to the front of a royal palace for the Sandeman Tour. It wasn’t as good as the Paris tour, but it certainly had its highlights. After the tour, when we were walking around, I (Henry) accidentally set off a blaring Vespa alarm. Not my proudest moment. We got back to the hostel in time to watch the World Cup Final, France vs. Croatia. I made some friends while watching the game, which was fun. Then we decided to “Take a Wok,” picking up Chinese food and eating it in Vondelpark. We laughed over eclectic subjects and made the short walk back to the hostel for bed.
