Anne Frank's and secret market

Woke up this morning and went to the armed place as yesterday for breakfasts. We had a strawberry tart again and proffijes (little pancake things we also had them yesterday but I called them profiteroles my bad). We then went to Anne Frank's house and waited around till 10 o'clock for when our tickets were valid. 

Anne Frank's house was fascinating and sad. It was amazing to see all the places she'd written about in her diary. It gave us both perspective about how they lived. 

Once we finished Anne Frank's house we went a small little Cafe for lunch and had traditional bitterballen. Which is a Dutch deep fried meetball kinda thing. 

Next we headed towards the central station to get a canal tour. 

Just a side not the traffic in Amsterdam is chaotic, there are cars, trams and bikes going bloody everywhere and no one seems to be following any road rules. On the other side all the tourist areas have been insanely efficient and well organised. Now back to it 

After looking at many boat trips we decided on one that was the cheapest and looked the most decent for price. The trip was nice although not as good as the canal trio we went on in copenhagn which we now realise was amazing. 

Once the tour was over we went home for a little rest via our favourite bakery....... And then made out way towards what was told to be the best stroopwaffle in town. (Bini had found it on TripAdvisor a few days earlier) 

To our pleasant surprise the stroopwaffle store was in the middle of a big street market. We had a look at all the stores and Alastair bought a coupe of badge on the way. Once we found the stroopwaffle place it didn't disappoint. A stroopwaffle is 2 very skinny waffles with caramel sauce in between and dipped in chocolate. 

After our stroopwaffle we then for dinner from another store. We bought 2 hot honey soy chicken sandwiches which were very nice and cheap. The market as a whole was an amazing find which made the end of our trip even better. 

Finally we made our way home and packed our bags for a 2 am wake tomorrow for the plane. (We made it are at gate now). Thank you all for reading this part of my blog. Blogs will resume on the 14th of June after bini and I have finished our exams. :)
