Today's activities included a visit to the recently refurbished Rijksmuseum near our hotel. The collection is magnificent, and we didn't even have to stand in line, as we arrived just at the opening hour. After seeing Rembrandt's Night Watch and the four Vermeer's we had a relaxing breakfast at the museum cafe, and Bryant headed to the ship and airplane displays while I scoured the museum shop for small gifts. Edla and Robin left to have a short rest at the hotel before going to their concert at the Concertgebouw hall nearby, and Bryant and I waited in line for 30 min. or so to get tickets for the Van Gogh museum. Toured around the vanGogh works, arranged in chronological order, then to the cafe for a quick lunch. After lunch we walked back to the Rijksmuseum to use their wifi, and on to see some of the canalside architecture. We have had a sunny day today, though cold and breezy. So glad we brought warm clothes!
We'll go out for dinner again tonight.
