We are breaking up our trip to Switzerland by spending the night in Cologne, Germany. We took about a 3 hour train ride to get here and we are getting on a 5 hour train ride tomorrow heading straight to Bern, Switzerland. Right now we are finding a place to eat at here in Germany.

Heading off to Switzerland. Goodbye Amsterdam!

At the Rijks Muesem we took an audio tour on our phones. Here are some of my favorites. Look for the dogs in 2 of them🐶

Today is our last day in Amsterdam:( Today we are going to the Rijks muesem. Here’s a picture from breakfast.

For our last dinner we went to another Thai restaurant called Rakang. It was very good. As you can see we got ice cream too:)

Next, we went on yet another canal boat trip. Third time is a charm! Sadly it was our last ride through the canals. The boat we went on was really comfy and it was lots of fun.

Our hotel hosts a huge concert every year right outside the hotel. It is very crowded and everybody parks their boats in the canals and watches on their boats. These pictures are from the kids section in the afternoon and then later tonight there will be a classical concert.

 

After the market, we saw the inside of the Anne Frank house. Unfortunately we weren’t allowed to take pictures inside. We saw the attic where the Franks hid as well as videos of Anne’s family and friends speaking.

After the walking tour we walked to the market where we found a crepe stand. Charlotte and I got crepes for lunch. We tried Dutch cheese for the first time! The crepes were delicious.

In the morning we went on a waking tour of the city. Here is a picture of a cleaning truck that drives through the city cleaning! The city does stay VERY clean. We would never see something like this in New Jersey.

Do you think we ordered enough?😂 Tonight we went to an Indonesian rice table restaurant. Very different but fun!

There are many boat houses that are on the water that people live in. They are really cool!
