Day Nine of London, Amsterdam, Paris
Friday
Today was a rest day. We spent about 80% of the day in bed, watching RuPaul’s Dragrace.
We left the apartment once, to find a Ajax soccer kit. It took a two stops, but we landed a beautiful kit from the fan shop. After we did some window shopping in the area, but didn’t buy much. From that area, we took the 17 Tram back to the FoodHallen. This time we went to a place called “The Butcher.” We had burgers, they were excellent. While I waited for my food, I started a conversation with a couple at the bar. He had a black eye and I asked him how he got it. Rugby. I said we don’t play much of that in the states. We discussed how much more relaxed Amsterdam is than London. Both he and his partner expressed they didn’t like London, “too busy.” They might be right.
After we walked home, relaxed a bit, packed around 1130p (jet lag leads to weird bed times), and eventually went to bed. I think packing the night before, no matter when your flight is, is a good idea.
