Netherlands - Amsterdam

Our day today was planned around... you guessed it... the Formula One... Jack was very excited to find that the hotel had BBC so he could not only see the GP but it was in English!
After breakfast we went into the city and visited the Rijk Museum which is the home of many of Rembrandt’s paintings, including the magnificent ‘Night Watch’. A beautiful museum with many beautiful paintings and Dutch artefacts giving a little more insight into Dutch history. 
We then wandered around the area surrounding the museum before heading back to the hotel to watch the Formula One. 
Around 6pm we met up with 2 of our friends from Australia, Juanita and Viv, who happened to be in Amsterdam over the same time. We spent the evening wining, dining and laughing with them and their Dutch friend Myka. We also briefly wandered through the ‘Red Light District’ to satisfy everyones curiosity.
