Oh it's been hell this morning so far. We were delayed 2.5 hours because of the snow. Damn you snow!!! We had to take trains to get the train station cus the taxis refused to pick us up. Then the train we were on wasn't going anymore so we had to switch to another train. Then we didn't have our same seats cus it was multiple trains on one. Apparently Paris is closed down so it's good we got out of there! I guess we were the last train out to Brussels, the rest were canceled. Crazy!
We finally made it to Amsterdam! The streets are tiny. The houses are small width wise but all tall. We found out the reason why is they used to pay taxes per the width of the house. There are canals everywhere and tons of house boats.
We took a taxi to the hotel and then had to walk to our apt we were staying in. It was across a canal and down the street. The apt was nice but the shower was held up by nails. Awkward!!
We left and went to find the hop on hop off. It was an irritating time cus we couldn't find it. Then we got on the wrong bus and had to wait again. Once we finally got on it, it was nice to see the sites. I wasn't as impressed as I was with the other countries though, only with the canals.
We got off at a shopping area and ate. Mc needed to go shopping and of course H&M was there again. I under up getting a little nightie that was so soft!!
We then hopped on the tram to go to Anne franks house. It was really interesting being there after going Dachau. Put things into perspective even more. The bookcase was original and that was the coolest part to me. It was sad that you couldn't take any photos though cus that would have been cool to have.
We went back towards our hotel and got dessert at a seafood restaurant. We got the chefs special which was French toast with ice cream and whip cream. OMG so good. Wish it was bigger though, obvi!! I have been loving eating all the desserts here.
Mom and mc wanted to go back to the hotel and we went out to the red light district. It was interesting for sure. All the ladies trying to lure the men in. It must be weird to be in their positions selling themselves. I felt really awkward looking at them and they would make eye contact and shake their body side to side. There tons of sex shops, strip clubs that I think we're more than just usual stripping. I chose a bar to go in and it was really nice. Tons of different random stuff all over. We also stopped by the bulldog coffee shop to see what the hype was about. They had pictures of a bunch of celebrities that have been there. Very interesting of a night!
