Week in Amsterdam: Day 4 & 5
Our fourth day in Amsterdam was spent in the museums we had decided to visit.
We went to the Hermitage Museum where there were artifacts from the Romanovs on display. Everything from beautiful gowns to portraits. It was very stunning to see one of your favorite childhood movies staring back at you. (Once upon a December, anyone?) The Hermitage Museum was not included with our Museumkaart, but we did get a discounted rate. For us it was worth it since my mom and I both loved the mystery and love surrounding the Romanov story.
After going through the museum, I had a craving for something sweet and coffee. I was determined to try any and all apple pies I came across.
After the Hermitage Museum, we went to the Van Gogh Museum. The Van Gogh Museum is included on the Museumkaart and I have to recommend this museum!!! It is wonderfully done and it is just amazing to see such priceless paintings in person.
On our fifth day, we went to Delft for a day trip. Delft is a sweet little town known for being the hometown of Rembrandt and the classic Delft blue tiles.
We researched and decided that Thursday would be the best day to go since it was market day for the town. It is only about an hour train ride to Delft from Amsterdam.
