Just got back from a fun weekend in Brussels/ Amsterdam! The group went to Brussels for a "site visit" and the European Union. We did that in the morning (took an early train), went to a LONG 3 hour Belgian lunch, had a walking tour of Brussels and then ended the day walking around. We took a late train to Amsterdam.
Amsterdam is a pretty interesting place...we stayed in the "red light district", which is full of coffee houses, bars, etc so there were a lot of people out and about. Our first night we just ended up walking around and seeing the city.
The next day was the big site seeing day! We started at Anne Frank's house (VERY informative for all those history buffs out there). From there we went to the Heinken museum where we spent most of the day. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! They have rides there, interactive videos, history lessons, picture places etc. I guess these two spots are really the only touristy things to do in Amsterdam.
From there we got authentic Indonesian food (colony of the netherlands) for dinner. We all ended up doing a bar crawl at night. All in all, pretty fun.
The hostels were also surprisingly not too bad!
Only one more trip left (MOROCCO!)
