| [1] One of Van Gogh's most famous works |
Today's itinery took us to the Van Gough museum. There was a vast and impressive range of his most famous works as well as a history of the artist. Vincent was deep, but his works weren't necessarily 'ear'y!
My friend and fellow hockey girl, Janine Hickie, studies Fine Art and I thought I'd get the most out of the experience if I shared it with someone who was passionate about the subject matter. She expanded on the information provided, and I'm now a transformed art enthusiast!

| [2] Bols liquors |
If you're begining to think that we are also transformed culturalists, you'd be wrong!
This was followed by a visit to the 'House of Bols.' There, we were allowed to smell EVERY different flavour of their liquor. We were told to choose two favourites, and we were given a shot of each. THEN (and bear in mind this was all before 3pm) we were given free cocktails! YUM!
Amsterdam looks beautiful in the sunshine and I can't wait to learn more about this wonderful city, its inhabitants and its heritage- whether this involves more alcohol or not!
Off for a steak soon- hopefully line my stomach appropriately for the bar crawl later!
'Dag' for now!
