Woke up early this morning to go to the Anne frank house. We took our map out and walked there. Only about 10 minutes from the hostel. Once we got there it was the BIGGEST LINE EVER! Oh my word it was long! But it wasn't too cold at first so that was good. It got alot colder however because about half way through the wind really picked up. But nonetheless it was worth it!
After 2 hours of standing in line we got inside it was such an interesting and moving musesum. It's in the actual attic that the frank family hid in during the war. We got to see all their rooms, kitchen, bathroom, offices and much more. We got to see the actual bookcase that hid the family in the attic. And the actual Anne Frank Diary! Beyond words cool! There were also recent video clips of her friends speaking on her behalf on what kind of a person she was, etc. And her father had a clip aswell. He was the only one from the 8 people that hid in the attic to survive the war. Such a powerful musesum to experience.
After this we had lunch, then walked down to a flower market that didn't have much flowers but a lot more of tourist shops with places to buy souvenirs etc.
Headed back towards the hostel after the market and along the way stopped in shops and browsed. Just looked at all the different types of things they have and what they sell.
We went to the musesum of prostitution, ya that was one of the strangest Musesums I have ever been in. After that just more shops in central and we went into a cheese shop aswell. So cool! You can sample everything and it was all fresh and so many different types to try!
We walked around for the rest of the night, just being outside in Amsterdam during the night is an experience in itself!
