Day 31: Exploring AmsterdamSat Aug 6, 2016

Our final day of our trip began with bright sunshine. Tomorrow we fly home. We couldn't get tickets for the Anne Frank Museum, so we decided to visit the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum to view the works of the masters. The museums were only a short 15 minute walk from the hotel. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. Well worth the effort.
