Amsterdam, day 1

It has been quite the adventure so far

our first flight was delayed, 

so we BARELY made our second one from NJ to Amsterdam.

Then there was another delay before we actually left 

so we ended up getting here around 8:30 am.

We got directions from a lady in the airport who told us one thing

we could find it, turns out it doesnt exist.

So we got lost for 2 hours!! 

wandering around like idiot tourists. haha.

Once we found our way we got to our hotel,

which is AMAZING.

my dad helped us out so we are platinum elite members

and are getting treated like royalty. 

free stuff.

upgraded room.

free treats and fruit brought to our room.
Here are some views of and from our room:

So today was more just a site seeing day. 

We saw the famous Rijksmuseum 

We saw the famous Vincent Van Gogh museum

We had a blast riding the Tram all over Amsterdam.

we would jump from one to another.

sometimes on purpose. 

sometimes because we were going the wrong way.

We got a 24 hour tram pass (tomorrow is bike day!)

We tried to make it to the Gardens, but was 5 min late. so tomorrow.

Then we took an hour boat tour around the canals of Amsterdam
 we saw all the famous sites, houses, etc. from the water.
it was gorgeous.

Some pics from the boat:

We were starving by this time, it was about 8:45 by then.

We heard about this cute place and wanted to go.

Oh we got lost again. no big deal.

we are both great with directions....

everything is just in Dutch. 

Gets a little confusing.

Anyways, we finally found it,
its a cute a place called The Pancake Bakery 
They were Crepes that were filled on top with
ice cream, fruit, syrup, etc. 

Now we are back at the hotel and are gonna pass out

We have been awake for a day and half- straight. 

EXHAUSTED.

Well thats it for today. 

we still have a fulllll day tomorrow too.

much more to come.

more stuff being more activities,

and PICTURES!

get excited.

we are.
