Had to switch hotels today because we had to stay an extra day in Amsterdam and our hotel couldn't accommodate us anymore. 

Out shower that requires us to crouch.
come on..

It's our last day in Amsterdam so we decide to" take it easy" yeah right. We haven't done the two museums in Amsterdam yet. We wet to this famous street market that was actually really cool. Stopped in a shop and bought a beautiful purple dress. Happy bday to me! 

The flower market. They weren't too keen on me taking pictures near the flowers.

We walk along the market looking for something to eat. End up at a little cafe that was not that good. 
I had a chicken blt which was not bad just not very filling and mom had a salad who's main ingredient 
was mayo. Yumm. 


On the walk back to the market and the tram stop we stopped by this little bakery thing and bought a brownie and the best apple strudel thing we have ever eaten. 

We turned around and bought a second right then and there. Holy mother of god were they delicious. 


We took the tram up to where a movie theater was to check the times for that evening. We fancied seeing a movie after the museums. 

out front. I'm not quite sure why there is a weird duck thing in the fountain.
I suppose I just don't understand art.

We had quite the sugar buzz going on from the strudel things

Just before we got to the fountain mom had stumbled a little bit and I laughed at her.
Our sugar high turned this into a play fight and then a photo shoot in front of the museum.
Let me be clear about something, she stumbles over something at least once a day.
I laugh at her every time. She doesnt find it as funny as I do. 

Went to the rijk's museum finally. 

Mom is jazzed about it

Most famous was the night watch by rembrant? Maybe. There were no places to sit though. Which is what usually gets me through museums. Ok and hour and then were off to the van gogh. They pronounce ( van gock) with s bit of a ch gh thing in there. I like van gogh because you could actually see his brush strokes as opposed to the picture looking fake. Bright colors too. Yum


Yay not on our heads. Catch the tram to the movie theater area which is right across from the flower market. Go and check it out. Load of flowers for cheap. Pretty. Bought Sabrina a little sunflower thing. 


Go see XMen origins. There were certain parts of it that were in German and would normally have German subtitles. Well those subtitles were in Czech. We made due lol. Almost forgot we were in a foreign country because while in movie you just feel like you are where you are comfortable. 


Oh we had a falafel before the movie. Happening falafel shop.
Get the tram back and walk a little in the cold. Trying to hold onto that feeling because home is going to be sooo hott.
Night
