Then once dressed, a quick march to the Rijksuseum for a pleasant few hours following their treasures of the museum audio tour. I loved the unapologetic interpretation a out the conservation work happening on the Night Watch and seeing the conservators at work.
Rijksmuseum is such a peaceful and welcoming museum. I had a lovely time going at my own pace, looking at all the beautiful things
We stopped for hot chocolate in the cafe and I enjoyed seeing one of the Tulip vases in action.
Once museumd out we went for a stroll soaking up the atmosphere, aiming for the Albert Cuyp market. I picked up a little watercolor print to add to our travel art collection then we hit up Albert Heijn again for lunch.
I picked up some more filet Americain, this time with egg mayo to go with my roll. We walked to a nearby park and sat eating on a bench watching the tour boats go by. I'm always struck in watery cities like this that there aren't more water taxis.
Post lunch we bimbled back to the hotel taking in the atmosphere and little shops. Then it was gym time where Jess joined in with my workout and we sauna'd for a bit. Then back to the room for showers and getting ready for dinner.
We're at Contra this evening, a jazz bar and restaurant. Joost Patocka the drummer is the guest of honour and we're enjoying a 5 course tasting menu, with wine and dirty martinis for me. All so cool!
