[P] Amsterdam. August 14th - 16th.


Our great European adventure started early in the morning as we took the Eurostar from London, through France and Brussels, to the Netherlands. Amsterdam was the only stop on the trip we planned to stay in a hostel, which was hilariously close to the Red Light District. Our first day there we explored the city of canals and bicycles, got caught in a drag queen parade, and ate delicious Indonesian food (a former colony).


The next day we started our day with pannenkoeken (pancake-crepes) and then made our way to Van Gogh museum. On our way back, we walked around the city and enjoyed some frites (french fries). We stopped by the Anne Frank Huis, where the Frank family hid during Nazi persecution that has been turned into a museum, which we would return to in the morning to properly pay our respects to before catching our next flight.
