Up bright and early it's a continental breakfast of salami, edan knobbly knees, rusks, OJ & coffee. As we're staying in the Museum Quarter, it would be rude not to visit the Van Gogh Museum - free to locals but 15 Euros to the great unwashed....that'll be me then. Grant got in free after I lied about his age....tut tut. That said it was a very interesting museum with a large collection and the history of how Van Gogh attained his style. Looks like it was hard...

We arrive in Amsterdam Central around 6pm....we're greeted by noise and traffic chaos. The Central Square is blighted by construction of a new subway connection. The locals aren't happy about it either...it's been going on for a while apparently. Our internet guide tells us to hop on tram number 5.....we see one and run across the road..Grant jumps on but the doors close on me..and off Grant goes.....oops, Mrs. Gibbs wouldn't be too happy if she were here. Luckil...
