Day 20: Delft/Den Haag/Amsterdam

We left Antwerp in the morning and headed to Amsterdam, our circle almost complete. On the way we stopped in Delft and looked in some stores and browsed through the real Delft pottery. From there we met up with my college friend, Andrea in The Hague. She is studying for her master’s there and was able to meet us at the train station. We ate lunch together and had a great time catching up. From The Hague we finally made it to Amsterdam…our trip almost complete! Our hostel required a ride on the tram, but we found it easily. We decided to try the Anne Frank house the night. The line was a little long, but we decided to wait anyway. The house is now empty with no furniture, but each room had information explaining what used to be there. It was an interesting yet sobering walk through the house. Anne’s actual diary was in a glass display for the visitors to see. Later that night after walking around town a bit we had a type of Asian stir-fry…it was pretty good and a nice change.
