(Day II) Amsterdam (museum, lunche, boottrip and more)
The next morning at the Stayokey!
The next morning I woke up like 8.30 in the morning.....A lot of girl in my room were already awake! I went to breakfast befor 10.00 AM were I had met Ante and Jeff who stayed also in the same Stayokey hostel......When I met these guys, Devika and Mandy just left....grrrr...I just missed them.....The breakfast was good and it I heard different kind of languahges...That was so funny! I had a good talk with Jeff and Ante and we made plans for the day...Ante would like to go to the Filmmuseum....I was talking about the shopping thing and it was soooooo funny...when I said it,...they both were like PIEP......grrrrrrrr...ssssssst! I think they had enough about it....hihi....Ante did his things and we had made already plans for lunch yesterday at the bar with Kim and Sylvie at 12.30 at the DAM......and Mell, but he did not make it.....aaaaah!
The
Jeff and I were looking for a nice museum nearby and we went to the Rijksmuseum! (More info in the Review).
The lunch somewere on the Damrak!
Afther the short museum trip Jeff and I took the tram to de Dam were we met Ante, Sylvie and Kim...Mell could not make it! We sat at the lunchroom somewere in the Damrak nearby the Trainstation! It was nice, but it was selfservice! I had a good lunch, but it was not a bigg thing there! The food was good, that,s it! Ante had a very strange looking cake.....It did not look nice at all.
The boottrip......boottour!
I went on the boottour with Ante and Jeff afther lunch! I was feeling like a tourist in my own country......It a great thing to do.....It,s like a break.....haha...Jeff was almost sleeping during the trip...hihi.......It,s better to do it when the weather is great....You can also read more in the Review about the boottrip! The building looked alike....We passed the Prinsengracht, the Herengracht, the Keizersgracht and the Amstel...I also made some pictures of the koffiehouse from out the boot, were we I have met the most of these wonderful people!.
De PC Hoofdstraat!
Afther the boottrip I had to say goodbye to Jeff! I did like hanging out with him.....Ante and me went our why and we met at diner later on at 17.30 in the Leidserstraat! The shoppinggirl, like me was going to the PC Hoofdstraat......I have a good friend living in Amsterdam and he said I need to see that expencive shopping street.....It was nearby, so way not....I walked first in the Vondelpark...That,s also a nice place to hang out....It,s a nice park, like a very, very small Centralpark in Newyork That I had vised!.
The Pancake Corner!
I met Ante later on in the Hostel....We went to the Pancake Corner, were Sylvie, kim, Jeff and some others went before on the saterday night late! It,s a great place, but it,s better when you are a real Sport freak.

On the 27ste I went on a great bootrip....It was real fun and It,s a nice breaktime when you have a busy day! I did a boottrip with with Meyers!We sat in a nice boot and we passed bij wonderful canals with their age old merchant houses, romantic bridges and charming church towers> We had a nice talking computer guide in many different languages wich drawed us to all point of interest.....we went passes the Prins Henderik kade, Herengracht, prinsengracht, Keizersgracht en the Amstel etc....
The trip will coust you around 7.50 euro and it will take around a hour! It,s great and even better when it,s sunny! A negative thing is when you are very tall you will have some problems when you sat....but it,s ok...I,m not very small myself and it was fin by me! It it,s also posible to book the boot for the group...With 20 persons you wiill have a discount! It,s a nice experience and something great to do when you are in Amsterdam!
