Anne Franks house
I arrived in Amsterdam today, only had a couple of hours to explore before it got dark, so after dropping my bags off at the backpackers, I headed out to the Anne Frank Musuem, in the house where they hid. It was an moving experience, to think they 8 people lived in such cramped rooms, all the while there were people working next door/underneath who had no idea they were there-dont know whether I could have dont it. I found it quite moving-even though it was very simply done.
I then had a quick wander around the city, as there was no point in going to any museums before the closed, and had a look at the red light district-yes there really are women in windows (sorry mum, it is Amsterdam, had to be seen!) Tomorrow it is off to more museums, and more exploring.
