We visited Anne Frank’s House yesterday afternoon. We neglected to take photos. We had an excellent talk before entering the house giving us the history of Anne and her family. We learned that they went into hiding in an annex above Otto Frank’s business. It was interesting to hear how they spent their days. After two years they were discovered and they all were transported to concentration camps. Otto was the only one to survive. One of the ladies at the business that helped them survive in hiding found Anne’s diary. What a treasure for the world to get an insight into this era.
Friday morning we take a short walk to the Rijksmuseum. It is a huge beautiful building that houses the art of Dutch the master artists. We were able to enjoy the paintings of Rembrandt and Vermeer and a few Van Gogh. We could have spent all day there.
Our next mission was to find Rudi’s Original Stroopwafles. It is located at the Albert Cuyp Market. It was worth the walk! The fresh stroopwafle was so delicious! And the market was several streets long.
Next stop, the Keukenhof to see the flowers. We were early in the season so many more Tulips to bloom. We saw lots of crocus and daffodils and a few tulips. Here are a few photos of the beauty.
