I Amsterdam!

Decided to leave beautiful Den Haag for one day to visit the more popular city of Amsterdam! We had everything planned -- Canal Tour, Red Light District, Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House -- ready to fit everything into our tight schedule. 

We headed straight to the canals to check the schedule of the next boat ride. We had great timing as the next boat was scheduled to leave within minutes!

Decided to check the souvenir shop across the street for gifts! Amsterdam-bought gifts are bound to be interesting! 

True enough there were so many items inside that I now regret not buying. 

These license plates are really cute! I couldn't decide on one so I ended up not buying anything. Haha 

I wanted to bring some of these candies and chocolates home  but hesitated at the last minute. I didn't want to risk getting stopped in Customs because of it. 

Haha I really should just go for it next time. I worry too much.

I had to rush back to the van since we still had a lot of things planned for the day. I easily spotted our ride parked across this museum. Hmm. What do you think is on display inside? Haha

Though no one would admit it. I think everyone was curious/excited to see our next stop. The Red Light District. Haha 

BUT our day was about to end unexpectedly. The driver slammed the door on mom's friend's finger and we had to rush him to the emergency room. YIKES! I'm so glad it didn't happen to me! haha 

After his minor surgery, we only had enough time left for dinner. Dinner at L'Arena before heading back to The Hague.
