It's a beautiful day, is it not?



Since we went to bed so late the night before, we slept in again until about 10:30. Rob made us breakfast and we lounged around for a bit. We walked with Rob and his friend Yuki to the train station so that Yuki could catch his train to work, and we continued our stroll through the center of town towards the Jordaan, passing the Dam - where the Royal Palace and Oude Kerk (Old Church) are - and a restaurant not unlike our Hooters, called "Teasers."
We made our way to the Anne Frank Huis and took the tour of the secret annex. The tour is pretty impressive. We found it interesting that Rob and his friends don't really know much about the story of Anne Frank other than the fact that she was in hiding during the war.
After the tour, we walked a little bit further through the Jordaan and grabbed some delicious pan de chocolade (chocolate croissants) before heading back towards the city center. Once there, we stopped at a grocery store and grabbed the essentials for a picnic and headed to the Vondelpark to meet Ferr and one of his friends.
We lazed around until it started to get chilly, then went with Rob to say hellow to a couple of friends in the Leidesplein that we had met the night before. Then we took the tram back to the apartment and Ferr made us a delicious dinner. We watched a very outdated "futuristic"flick and Nicole and I tested out Rob's turntables and we figured out the plan for the rest of our last evening in Amsterdam.
