Anna Frank house

Last night I start to look at the DVD’s I got from Lenore, The Daily Show with John Stewart. I like his show but in the Netherlands we have only a global edition every weekend on CNN.
I got a whole box from the Indecision 2004.
Today it was time to visit the Anna Frank house in Amsterdam, I put the alarm clock at 6am so be could drive early but damn the bed with Lenore was really warm. Lenore waked me up with a cup of coffee and took a shower, and we start two hours later on our trip. I parked like always my car in a neighbourhood next to the Amsterdam Arena from where we can take the subway downtown. First a cup of coffee at the New Market, then to the Dam with crossing the Red light district. Robin told us that we could buy a ticket over there what save time; yes he was right but only for the evening tickets. So we walked just 10 minutes and got to the Anna Frank house, damn a line from at least 35 minutes. Ok I’m a tourist in my own country so we wait. The house made a lot impression on us and we decide to go for a lunch in the Jordaan neighbourhood. We came at lunchroom “de vrije vork” where we something small, with a stop at the Fame record store we came back on the Dam where we got a drink at the Majestic. After enjoying the sun and the people we walked back through the Red light district where the ladies finally waked up. We took the subway back and drove to Zoetermeer where my godmother is living, downtown we stopped for buying some nice flowers and drove the last 2 miles further. She is a really nice person, after a few cups of coffee I ask her if we can take her out for dinner. Sorry but I made already dinner for us she told. After eating lovely macaroni and talking with each other, we looked at the clock. 9pm so time to drive back because it takes two hours. Now it’s time to finish my red wine.
