Day 4 – Amsterdam 8/12/09

We ended up having a late night after our dinner, walking around the streets of Amsterdam and as such slept in a bit and missed our amazing breakfast (sad)! But it was alright; we showered and headed out for a cup of coffee. After such a fun packed day yesterday and due to the pouring rain, we decided to have no agenda and just walk around the city. We sipped coffee and walked. We ate sandwiches and walked. We went to the dam square and walked. There is a huge football (soccer) match tonight here in Holland between Holland and England (the stadium is just outside of Central Amsterdam). Lots and lots of fans have been wandering around and in Dam square we saw a whole bunch of British hooligans with banners, in their jersey’s singing fight songs while we sat and listened eating another cone of fries.

I think the time zone changes and jet lag caught up with us. By mid afternoon we were very tired and decided to take a quick nap at the hotel. We woke up in time to watch the soccer match on TV. A great game, but England ended up winning.

We finally wandered out of the room to find some dinner and wound up at a place that served falafels, pitas and shorma. We also shared another helping of Dutch fries, this time with traditional mayo. Is it wrong that I loved it? So delicious (honestly I thought it was going to be gross). I can’t remember mayonnaise ever tasting so good! Yum! Then we walked around the city again – checking out a few bars and enjoying the vibe of vibrant Amsterdam.
