We spend our first day in Amsterdam exploring the city. We began at the Rijksmuseum where we learnt about Dutch history and art. Babur and I spent a good deal reading through the exhibits but Omar and Richard seemed a little bit more interested at the weapons on display. We got some asparagus-deficient lunch nearby and did a bit of souvenir shopping. Then we visited the Van Gogh museum, learnt about his life and shopped in the gift store. Omar was feeling a little ill (caught the flu) so we dropped him at the hotel to rest while Babur, Richard and I went to the centre of the city to grab some pizza for dinner. Overall a great day in the city.
