We woke up far too late to try out our free Dutch breakfast, made a note to try harder tomorrow.
Today we set out to have a wander around Amsterdam. We headed first through a street market that is on everyday before heading to the Museum District, which was dominated by the imposing figure of the Rijksmuseum. There are lots of museums are various sizes all centered around a big plaza where we found the I Amsterdam sign which you might have seen pictures of.
From the Museum Quarter we headed north towards the city center passing through what our map told us was an arty district. It was full of pokey galleries, many of which were closed, and was less exciting than I expected it to be. From here we found ourselves in a more mainstream shopping area, and took shelter in the nearest coffee shop.
The Dolphin Coffee Shop was very different to the first place, much more commercialized for tourists. It was the most like an actual cafe of all the coffee shops we visited.
Later on in the night we took a walk into the infamous red light district to see what the fuss is all about, were we wandered into the sex museum. I don't believe this was the original museum it might have been just put together for the tourist but it was fin to see all the different cultures of sex represented in one building.
