Day 9

Amsterdam

We met up with all of our friends early that morning and grabbed some crepes at our hostel. We then hit up the other most famous coffee shop, Baba. After a while we did some exploring of the city and what an amazing city Amsterdam is. Lined with canals and bridges the city held an unique charm. It still baffles me that you could me strolling over canals so beautiful and then find yourself back in the heart of the red light district. Another funny tradition Amsterdam holds is for bachelor and bachelorette parties. The bachelor is forced into the most ridiculous outfit by his friends and paraded around the city all day. One that was at the same bar was wearing a full ladies outfit, including the bar. It was a sight to see. We wandered some more and came across a gourmet cheese shop that had loads of free samples of all of their cheeses. Spending some time in here we were satisfied for a late lunch. That night for dinner we headed to a fancy mexican restaurant. We all splurged but it was soooooo worth it. We had chips on chips and salsa on salsa. It was great and much needed. We all decided naps were in order so we headed back to our respective hostels for a "nap" around 8pm and never woke back up.
