Amsterdam tomorrow!

Amsterdam tomorrow! 

Today I planned and made a small walking/sightseeing route trough Amsterdam, Amsterdam is pretty big. There's no way you can see everything in just one day in Amsterdam, planning the route took me almost the whole day, lol. The route I will be walking is a short of a huge round trough Amsterdam, first of to the gay-monument. Why? Just because. I never went there, so tomorrow I will. Pretty close to the gay-monument is the Wester Church, and right beside the Church is the Anne Frank's house. Yeah, I planned my route wisely, lol. 

If or when there's no line up I might go inside Anne's house. I'm pretty sure there will be a line up, but I will see. I will be leaving early tomorrow, probably around 7:30 am. Long day, but it's sure gonna be worth it. From Anne Frank's house I will be walking too the 'Jordaan,' the Jordaan is a old typical Amsterdam's district neighborhood. The Jordaan had a lively music scene in the 20th century. Several of the most popular musicians now have a statue in their memory,  Rembrandt spent the last years of his life in the Jordaan, on the Rozengracht canal. He was buried in the Wester church. 

From the Jordaan I will be walking towards "Spui," Spui is a little square just near the National Monument. From Spui it's not far walking to Begijnhof, Begijnhof is one of the oldest inner courts in the city.Pretty excited about to visit Begijnhof, I have been many times in Amsterdam, though I always walked the same route. Shopping and watching people, don't know why I enjoy it now more then I use to do, lol. Probably old age, LOL! 

It seems that the older you get, you enjoy more of the things your not that much enjoyed when you were younger. Uhm, yeah.  From the Begijnhof towards the Rembrandt plein, a major square in central Amsterdam, named after the famous painter Rembrandt van Rijn who owned a house nearby from 1639 to 1656. From there I will be walking to the Museaplein, that's a square full of musea's. It's located at the square are three major museums - the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum and the concert hall. 

My route will be nearly done after this, there's only the Vondelpark and the PC-hoofstraat. The Vondelpark is a huge park what is well known in Amsterdam. Yearly, the park has around 10 million visitors. In the park is an open air theatre, a playground and several horeca facilities. And finally the PC-Hoofdstraat, a long street with the expensivest shops in Amsterdam, a street for the rich people, like me, lol! I never been there, tomorrow I will. Probably I will see some Dutch celebrity aswell, would be fun. Pretty excited day ahead, today was a resting day, I had some important mail aswell today, but more about that tomorrow or Sunday.
