After a night in Brussels, we hopped on a train to Amsterdam. We love love loved Amsterdam! Why is the world so incredible? I will never have the chance to experience it all!
We explored, had the best Pancakes of my entire life, saw the floating flower market, took the obligatory tourist photo in the I Amsterdam sign and just wandered a lot.
The second day we visited the Anne frank house. It is hard to describe such a sad experience. The place was much bigger than I imagined but still a horrific event. A definite must see in your life time.
We went to breakfast at the pancake bakery because it was recommended over and over and after our pancakes the night before, I was not impressed. Skip it and eat all of your pancakes at pancakes! Amsterdam- way better. After that we took a dreamy canal tour. The architecture is incredible and it was a fun way to see the city. Plus there were only two other people on our boat.
We wandered around some more and decided to finally try the much talked about Winkel 43 for some apple pie. Everyone says it is the best apple pie in the entire world and they are correct. It is not traditional apple pie but it was so good we went back a second time.
Our last day we went to a windmill and wandered around dam square.
Amsterdam is a such a unique city. Between all the bikes, smoke coffee shops, stench of weed everywhere and friendliest people ever, I can definitely say Amsterdam is a hard city to top.
Side note: the Amsterdam airport is by far the most efficient airport I have ever been to.
