Giant pancake for breakfast got the day started off right. The 45 mins we had to wait in line before entering the Van Gogh museum was totally worth it – some amazing pieces in there, including Starry Night! We went on a canal tour afterwards which took a completely different route from the last time I was here, so we got to see some new sights. Believe it or not the rain held up too, and some of my pics should turn out pretty darn well. After the tour we jumped out at the Rijksmuseum stop, and found that the huge lineup we saw earlier in the day had completely disappeared. Nice! Most of the building was closed for renovations, but there were still some incredible pieces on show. I’m so glad we were able to see both museums today – pretty much my #1 goal for this trip

Off for a night on the town now, and hopefully up early-ish to get some last-minute shopping done before heading to Coevorden. We’ve also taken the hint from our France & Belgium experiences and booked all our hostels for the rest of the trip ahead of time. One less thing to worry about from now on. Only 2 more nights left in Holland… gonna have to do another trip soon!
