Today I started my day with a walking tour of the city to get my bearings. I was one of only 3 people who turned up, and the others had limited knowledge of the English language, so I was pretty much one on one for a free tour!
The city centre is really beautiful, and I can see why there has been a city here for hundreds of years, despite the flooding and poor weather. The Canals alone are incredible, My hostel is on the other side of the "North Sea" so I have to take a 30 second free ferry to get to the main city area, and it is great.
After the tour, I headed to the house where Anne Frank hid during the second world war. I was expecting it to be an intense experience, but it was much sadder than I had expected. They had photos of them in the house, and excerpts from her diary up on the walls, and a whole museum leading up to it.
Tomorrow, maybe a daytrip xx
