Woke up early to the sounds of weird drilling construction across the canal from our hostel. Got ready and wandered out to find lunch on the way to the Rijksmuseum. We ended up going to a little canal-side bistro…service in Amsterdam takes forevvvver so we took like 2 hours for lunch haha…I had a grilled chicken club with truffle-eggsalad. Soooo nommy. We went to the museum after lunch and walked around for about an hour. It was a tiny museum but it still had plenty of cool masterpieces. After the museum we walked to the Heineken brewery! We took a self-guided tour of the Heineken factory and got to taste fresh, cold beer along the way. It was so fun! There was a simulated “ride” in 4D that you pretend you are being brewed in the beer! haha it was so cute. And of course free beer. Mmmm
After Heineken and some more walking around, Patrick found a place for dinner called Skek. It was a place run for students (who get discounts with ID!) by students. The cutest Dutch girl was our waitress, she had so much energy and spoke perfect English! I had a Japanese hamburger with this cabbage and onion salad. For dessert I had the cheese of the month with a fig compote. Nommmm.
No plans for tomorrow as of yet…probably just find something to eat in a park! Home in 7 days!
