Dude...It's Amsterdam.

So, to preface this post: I did nothing in Amsterdam that is Illegal in the U.S.

With that said, we reached the Amsterdam Dock, Hoek Van Holland (that's just cool to say) at about 8am. A train ride later and we were in Central Amsterdam. To say the least, at this time of year, Amsterdam is cold. Damn cold! It was colder and rainier than London (and that's saying a lot). Unfortunately, our hotel was outside of the city center. Once we arrived, we pleasantly surprised by the contemporary but spacious accommodations.

If you look closely at the pic above, you will see something that is not customary in hotels. Yes, a glass bathroom. The shower, tub and sink were in a glass room. The toilet was in a room off the side of the bedroom. Strange, but very nice.

On the first day, we headed to Anne Frank's House.

It was nice to see how she and her family lived, but the house had no furnishings. It just kinda felt like an old empty house.
