We started our 2022 trip with an easy red eye flight from Philadephia to Amsterdam. When we got checked in to our hotel, we all slept a bit and then walked to the museum district.
Our first stop was for Stroopwaffle in the park!
We walked all through the city center and just took in the amazing views and soaked up the atmosphere.
Eventually, we walked back toward our hotel and stopped at a fantastic restaurant for dinner.
Amsterdam has such long summer days, we loved walking around at sunset at 10:00 pm.
We ended the day with a late snack and drink at the hotel bar. It was a perfect first day.
Today, we grabbed a quick breakfast…
…and headed out on foot back to the museum district to visit the Van Gogh Museum.
After the museum, we had a fantastic canal cruise with some great Dutch cheese and had a chance to see the city from the water.
We took the city tram back toward our hotel and are now sitting by the water watching the boats go by. We love Amsterdam and are so happy we came back here to experience more. Tomorrow, we will visit the Rijkmuseum and Vondel Park.
Gorgeous!!!! What an incredible city!
