This is our second day in Amsterdam. There was an optional tour to the to the Dutch countryside to the pretty village of Volendam, but we did not join the tour group. Instead, we went back to our hotel to take nap.  We took our late lunch at &samhound Places along Oosterdokskade Road and ordered an Asian food with a twist. Please view the related articles for details.

After lunch, we met our very good friend RJ, our tour guide and have shown us these wonderful places and attractions: 

  • Basilica Saint Nicolas
  • Royal Palace at Dam Square
  • Shopping Streets: Kalverstraat and Leidsestraat
  • Amsterdam musuem
  • Amsterdam Cheese Stores
  • Flower Market
  • Old Dutch Pancake House, afternoon snack.
  • Rijksmuseum
  • You and I amsterdam
  • Van Goh Musuem
  • Leidseplein
  • Vondel Park (Gate)
  • Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal Street
  • Museumplein
  • Red Lights District

At the end our walk tour, we met RJ's wife (Love). We ended our last night in Amsterdam with a lovely dinner at Vapiano.
