Amsterdam, Netherlands Part 2

Our second full day in Amsterdam started off with breakfast at Bagels & Beans again - this time the Dutch Weed Burger - Yum!

Rijksmuseum

They were filming something here - everyone dressed in orange for the Netherlands and they were going crazy cheering when the cameras rolled. It was fun to watch

Flower Market

National Ballet & Opera house

They had a free lunchtime concert the day we were there so we went to check it out. We arrived about a half hour early which was good becase there was already a huge line waiting to get in.

You couldn't take photos during the performance, but it was a lot of fun. It was a chorus and they sang some silly songs and I really enjoyed it

Such a grey day

Lunch at Katkil & Tijger - this was not the most veggie friendly place. Nothing was listed that we could eat, but online it said there were options...really for lunch they have bowls where you pick a few things and that is what you get. It was all veggies and good, but nothing crazy fun

More snacks from Vegabond - cinnamon sugar doughnut

And Oreo Cupcake

With an Oreo inside!

That afternoon we took a boat tour wth Those Dam Boat Guys. Now their website made it seem like they were fun and there would be jokes and everything like that....but this tour was sooooo boring! Like it was nice being in a boat, but our tour guide put me to sleep. Seriously. He talked soooo quietly and monotone and was just like lulling me to sleep. I didn't really learn anything and if we hadn't have done the walking tour the day prior we wouldn't have gotten much of the history. It was very dissapionting.

Bike parking at the train station

Dinner at Ko Chang - tofu satay

Pad See Eew

And Pad Thai - so tasty! We wanted to come back and get food for the train ride home, but unfortunately they are only open for dinner

Campervan Adventures in Bavaria: Eibsee & Bremsee & Fungi

The next day we woke up and it was quite cloudy, but we still headed off to hike around Eibsee.

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums. First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed. Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful! After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
