In January 2007 we took a trip across the pond and around Europe in a world-wind 7 day trip to Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne and Frankfurt. Our first stop was Amsterdam - The Netherlands. This is the story about day two - day time adventures.
Here we are with day two.
The next morning we awoke to Brett SMSing us asking where the hotel is. After sending him the address and waiting for him to show up we went down to get one of the great things that come with European hotels, the free breakfast. This bad boy consisted of turkey, ham, cheese, hard boiled eggs and different types of bread, they also had different types of juice. The only real downside to this was that all the juices were sorta warm. This was not so good, but we have nothing to complain about here.
After fueling up we decided to hit the city again, heading up to Leidseplein then heading southeast over to the Rijksmuseum, which was under construction at the time.
After walking by Rijksmuseum we decided to head south to museum square to get some pics of the I AMsterdam sign. After the photo-op we decided to get some coffee and tea at a local cafe where Clint snapped some excellent pics. When we finished we decided to go to the Van Gogh museum to get our European culture on. It was enjoyable visit but we must look suspicious because security was riding our asses the whole time.
When we left the museum around noon and the rain was coming down at a good pace. A good enough pace that Clint got scammed into buying a sweet umbrella that cost 8 Euros. But being that it was lunch time we decided to celebrate and go on the Heineken Experience! 
If you go to Amsterdam this is a for sure place you gotta check out. And the cost was relatively low, I think it was 6 or 8 Euro. The people that work at Heineken are the nicest people in Amsterdam, not sure if its because they’re drunk or that they get to work in a brewery all day long. They all were very friendly and had big smiles all the time. The self guided tour was fun and they had a bunch of little activities which include drinking beer, sending video messages to friends, spinning on turn tables, a virtual tour of Amsterdam from a horse wagon and foosball. Also at the end of the tour you get a free gift, we received a bottle opener. Once we gathered our gifts and picked up our coats from the coat check we started are search for food.
When we walked outside the rain had turned into a mist and we decided to walk north towards the city centre. We didn’t know what kind of food we were in the mood for, so we decided to walk around and choose whatever looked good. We finally decided on Wok & Cook, it hit the spot, we all thought the meal was really good. They gave you generous portions the only thing that they could’ve had more of is seating. But the cramped seating was intimate, you might have issues if you’re claustrophobic. But this place that is tucked into a very tiny street was awesome. After enjoying are meal we needed to sleep it off and headed back to the hotel for some sleep.
