Amsterdam

A false fire alarm made sure everyone at the StayOkay hostel in The Hague was awake at 6:30 a.m. After a hearty breakfast, we walked the short distance to the train station to catch the express train to Amsterdam. We spent an hour at the Rijksmuseum. The museum is currently undergoing a major renovation, so we were only able to see a small portion of the museum, including Rembrandt's masterpiece, "The Night Watch." We took a tram to the Anne Frank House. Even those who have never read the diary were moved by the power of the experience. After a few hours of shopping, we took a canal boat tour of the city, and then took the train back to our hostel in The Hague. Tomorrow we will spent some time in Delft and our final afternoon in The Hague.
