With an early start to the day to fit everything in, our first tourist desination was the Anne Frank house. This gave us all a surreal insight of what it was like for Jews in earlier times through self guided tours. Surprisingly the rooms where they lived hidden in for 2 years were quite large, although it would have seemed small for 2 families to live in for that long. Then afterwards off we headed to our boat tour, which travelled through the canals of Amsterdam. After finding a little bit more about the history, traditions and architecture of Amsterdam, we hopped of the boat and were parted in different directions. Some plucked up the courage to go on the highest swing , the AD’AM lookout while those not so keen, headed off to the shops. For those headed to the shops, navigation was difficult due to all the roads looking very similar and having to avoid being run over by numerous bikers. Dinner came round fast after everyone’s successful, relaxing and enjoyable afternoon where we met at Humphrys for a traditional Dutch meal. To continue with the tradition, we finished off the night with an uncomfortable experience through the red light district. Amsterdam was definitely an experience to remember and come back to!
