Amsterdam - Day 2


On our second full day in Amsterdam we had booked to visit the Anne Frank Museum and knew where it was from the day before.  Our biggest challenge was finding a non-expensive gluten free breakfast on the go so we eventually settled down on the canal to a breakfast of cheese and chorizo and olives.  It was wonderful.


The Anne Frank Museum was always on my must-do list for Amsterdam, I read the book some years ago and it was really enlightening to see where it had been written and understand a bit better the kind of life they led there.



Afterwards we headed back to the hotel through the centre.  The crowds were a bit much so we cut down a side street to find a drink.  While there, we looked the place up on Trip Adviser and decided to stay for dinner as it was well up in the ratings.  It was a little pricey but nothing near the first night had been and much more worth it.  The food was delicious.  Nico has even recreated the recipe since we have been home and I'm so glad we went there!  It's my biggest food tip for anyone visiting Amsterdam - Van Kirkwijk.
