We have arrived in Amsterdam. Actually, we did that at 9:40AM which was 3:40AM to me. Needless to say, we are quite tired. We moved through Customs, got a taxi, and went to our hotel. Since it was before our check-in time of 3PM we could only store our bags. We decided then to walk aliong the roads near the hotel to see what was near. Found some shops and a nice little restaurant to have lunch. Then, we walked some more before deciding to return to the hotel to see if our rooms were ready. Our room was but our traveling companions wasn't. We went upstairs to get some shut eye before we went to Anne Frank's house.
After resting and finally taking a shower, we were ready for our walk to Anne Frank's house. It is a half a mile from where we are staying. What a phenomenal place! Amazing what history is here in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, in the United States we don't seem to value preserving history. In fact, when were were walking we saw some building that were constructed in the 1600's!
Well, that is all for today's update. Still very tired and since it is going on 11PM here I think I will be hitting the hay. We board the ship tomorrow so hopefully I can update from there.
Later from Amsterdam!
