Rijksmuseum

Another day of getting to see more of Amsterdam! Today we started the day with a morning run around the neighbourhood 🌻 then we headed into the central city to check out the Rijksmuseum. We spent 3 hours wandering the walls of the museum, intrigued by all of the art and history on display 🤩 it was honestly quite overwhelming with how much stuff there was (didn’t help that we forgot our drink bottles - so we started feeling tired quickly) so we grabbed lunch at the markets outside the museum. We then headed towards De Pijp where we got to listen to the end of an outdoor jazz duo. They were students studying at CVA (where Josh will study) so that was cool to listen to!! Afterwards we met up with Amelie who is a friend of joshes from Christchurch, and her kiwi friend from Auckland who is also studying music at CVA.
There was something so nice about being surrounded by kiwis here 🥝 all experiencing the same process of moving abroad.Read more
