We went to Amsterdam today by the Fast Ferry, what an amazing experience!! It was so nice to be on the water and see everything from the canals. We got into Centraal Station and ventured around to see what we could find. We were going to go into Anne Frank's House but the line up was so long but we took pictures and saw Anne Frank's statue. We also saw the New and Old Churches and the Royal Palace. We continued walking until we walked right into the Red Light District. What pretty ladies.... no it was a sad sight to see. All the girls are just waiting for someone to walk to their door, they don't pull people off the streets like most stories people hear. They just sit, smoke, and wait. We continued up and down the stretch and just listened to the noises from Amsterdam, the people, the cars, the trams, the music and just every day noise buzzing around us. We then came back to Bloemendaal, started watching Zwartboek (Blackbook) about World War II and then went for supper with Rob. After supper Rob drove us to the Sea, what an amazing sight to see. We saw all the freightliner ships out at sea and the beach was not busy at all. Of course it was so cold as we were in shorts and the sun was starting to set, so we decided we would go back during the day. We came back to Rob's place and continued to watch Zwartboek. What an amazing day!! Tomorrow maybe Rotterdam but who knows :)
Love
