We decided that our hotel was too far out to experience all that we knew Amsterdam had to offer, so we booked a new hotel in the center of town. We had some time to kill, as we were not supposed to check in until 2. We decided to use this time to get some blog posting's finished. After a few hours of work we hopped on a tram and headed inward. We followed our directions to our new hotel, noticing a few familiar sites along the way. We both remembered how much we liked Amsterdam as we lugged our stuff around the cobble stone streets and sidewalks. We finally arrived at our destination which was a small bed and breakfast. We shortly discovered their was no management at the property, as we rang the door bell and wrapped on the door numerous times. They had nice little benches by the canals, so I let Kristen site down as I went out to get us a quick bite to eat. I weaved in and out of the busy shopping streets trying to find a good lunch deal for take away. I finally found something decent and quickly headed back to the hotel, as this was the longest Kristen and I had been apart this whole trip. I got back to see our bags and Kristen were both gone. Before my heart could skip a beat, the door open and Kristen peeked her head out the door. The cleaning guy had let her in, so we sat on the couch and waited for the owner to come back from lunch. There was a night time clerk there who led us up stairs and had the cleaning guy get a room ready for us. We got our things into the room and were about to head out but then ran into the owner. He got us all set up and we were on our way back into the streets of Amsterdam. Since this was a bed and breakfast there was a fully operational kitchen at our disposal and I had been craving one of Kristen's delicious home made meals, we headed to a grocery store down the road. We picked the ingredients for a great meal and headed back in. We cooked up a feast and had plenty of left overs. We headed back upstairs and just hung out all night talking about our wonderful trip and how much fun we had. We fell asleep early watching some English Law and Order and got ready for a long day of shopping for tomorrow.
