Day 1: Amsterdam
First day of the third leg, I flew from Gatwick this morning into Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam bound. I spent most of the day walking around, absorbing the surroundings and navigating myself, what a beautiful city! I went to visit the Rijksmuseum (to see their collection - including various Vermeer paintings, I bought a post card of this one) and the Stedelijk Museum, both of which were under construction.
