Wednesday, May 6thAnother late start as this is our last day in Amsterdam. I have been able to check off all my things on my "TO SEE" list so Doug has always wanted to see the Amsterdam Museum. (Cost €12,00 per person)
Formerly called Amsterdam Historical Museum, or in Dutch: Amsterdams Historisch Museum. Located in the very center of Amsterdam (5 minutes from Dam Square), this museum is crucial for understanding Amsterdam rich history. Apart from its permanent art treasures, Amsterdam Museum presents interesting temporary shows – not only about Amsterdam recent history, but also about its people, arts, fashion and crafts.
The history of Amsterdam has been presented chronologically, on three floors of the museum with a huge respect for the tradition (remarkable paintings). This rich presentation has been made with an eye for different social aspects of the city life, its religions as well as urban folklore and diverse subcultures, including entertainment and prostitution.
Most of Amsterdam is below sea level.

Our last dinner was at The Old Bell. I had the same thing as I did on the first day. The weinerschnitzel without the mushroom sauce and fries. Awesome!!
Back to the hotel to pack and prepare for our flight home on Thursday.
