Van Goph

Breakfast this morning was ok but a bit expensive. We got it from the hostel. Had a nice veiw over a canal. 

This morning we went to the Van Gogh museum however we discovered that the tickets had to bought online and we only got a spot at 12:45. 

While we waited we walked around the area finding a nice water garden just outside the Rijks museam. After this we admired a pond with huge pots or tulips and then had lunch which consisted of a huge meaty hot dog thing for bini and a ham and cheese toasty burger thing for Alastair. Each cost around 6 euro which we thought was ok. Both were very nice and freshly made which we didn't expect as it was a little Street food stall. 

Anyway got into Van Gogh museum at 12:30 after getting help from three people to look us up on the system. Also, with the help of bini's quick eyes which found our booking on the helpers Ipad. 

The museum was great and we stayed there until 4:30. Three was some amazing paintings and the history of Van Goghs life was amazing. 

There was also an amazing exhibition going on about Japan's influence on Van Gogh. This was also really interesting although bini and I were getting fairly tired by then. 

On the way home we scouted out dinner places and after we had checked and moved into our private  room we went out to a place called pasta factory and got 2 cheap pastas for dinner. Bini had a carbonara and I had meatballs. 

The private room in the hostel is much nicer than the dorm. The shower is fancier the beds are more comfortable and we get a sink in our room. Much happier. We slept at ten and work up at seven the next morning. A good sleep, we are almost over jet lag.
