Amsterdam, Getting Settled In

The flight this morning was rather quick. I think that we were in the air for about an hour. Most of the time was spent on the ground queuing as only the British can. I think that they said that the flight was closing about 45 minutes to departure time. I decided to run to the gate to find out that no one had boarded yet.

I got a chance on the plane to read my Amsterdam tour guide which really came in handy. Thanks Liz. I walked around Amsterdam for a while and ended up getting a place at a Christian youth hostel for about 18 Euros each night. It's in a good neighborhood and I now know how to use public transit here so even though it's like a 20 minute walk from central, it works. I hope the dorm style accomodations aren't too bad. It will be a lot different than staying at my posh London hotel.

Anne Frank House:
My first event of the day. It was pretty thought provoking though a bit sparse on information. It was impressive to see where she spent a few years as a child confined to such a small abode.

Sex museum:
My second event. All I can say is that this was rather stupid. Oh well.

I have to figure out what to do tonight.....
