Amsterdam

We arrived in Amsterdam on Sunday afternoon after a little mix up at the train station in Antwerp. Apparently the tickets we had bought online from Antwerp to Amsterdam had to be printed out in France =( So we had to buy new tickets. I'm hoping to be able to get a refund when we get home.



We arrived in Amsterdam to finally see a familiar face. It was so nice to get off the train and see Kristen. She had figured out what Tram to take to get us to our hotel and went with us to get us checked in. Then because it was so nice out, we decided to walk through Vondelpark to Kristen's apartment to do some laundry. After each of us living out of one suitcase apiece for 2 weeks, we wanted to have some clean clothes for our flight home. We then headed to a little cafe to have dinner. It has been so great to catch up with Kristen and learn about her experiences here in Amsterdam.

We have done a lot of sight seeing, visiting the Rijks Museum, The Van Gogh Museum, The Rembrandt House, The Anne Frank House, we tried to visit the Old & New Churches, but they are both closed while we are here, we also did a canal cruise and went to see the comedy show Boom Chicago.

As this is our last day in Amsterdam and on our trip, Travis and I have been taking a little slower pace and just enjoying our last day here. We have plans to meet up with Kristen for dinner and then to take a guided tour through the Red Light District, which should be very interesting!

Travis and I have both really enjoyed our trip and have missed Merrick so much. We are ready to head home and sleep in our own bed and see all of our family and friends (although we will miss Kristen!)
