The Van Gogh museum is one of my favorite in the world, and the Anne Frank house is a haunting place to visit. The museumboot is a good way to visit both of the above. The last time I went I think you could get a ticket for the boat ride and 3 museums for a reasonable price.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget to have some frites (speciaal are my faves!), gouda kaas, stroopwafels and gevulde koeken are some bakery favorites of mine as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30414727.post-38477726644433158582007-10-30T10:04:00.000-07:002007-10-30T10:04:00.000-07:00Oops...hit submit before I was finished :) I just...Oops...hit submit before I was finished :) I just want to say that I am new to your lovely blog and thank you for sharing the things that make you happy with all of us!
