In Amsterdam we met up with Alex's cousin Lisa and her husband Simon, who took us to a super cool restaurant on a boat. The food was really delicious and gourmet, and the place was very posh. It was the culinary zenith of our trip probably. Alex and I had time before dinner to thoroughly wander the Vondelpark.
The next day, Saturday May 23, we had the best cheesy croissants of my life at a bakery near Lisa's house. (My travel log says they were jizz in my pants good.) We went shopping in the Prinsenzgracht area, then to a cool organic farmer's market. We ate lunch at a vegetarian restaurant (also tasty) and went to the Van Gogh museum, but we decided the line was too long and chilled in the park instead. We couldn't stop thinking about those cheesy croissants so we went back for more, but they only had ham and cheese left--luckily it was totally delicious too. To complete the eating-tons-of-food experience we got a fantastic pancake after that. It had apples and cinnamon ice cream and was heavenly.
We had a pizza dinner in the Vondelpark with Lisa and Simon and the dog that evening, which was so pleasant I couldn't believe it. We went to a coffee shop called Kashmir Lounge that night, but I got really tired and went home to go to sleep after only a short while.
It was a great trip and one of the best parts of the whole 2-week odyssey. Thanks Lisa and Simon!
