Today was a really terrible day weather-wise, so we didn't get to do much at all. There were apparently power outages in other parts of the city due to the winds knocking over stuff, but we were OK thankfully. The houseboat was a rockin quite a bit though, so Kara was feeling a little bit seasick, but not too horribly bad. It settled down a bit later in the day, but we were too late to see the Van Gogh museum, so decided to go for the Anne Frank house since it's open later.
There was barely a line (yet another reason I love off-season touring, as the walk-up lines are infamous) and the house was fascinating. It walks through the whole series of events, and you see the annex she lived in. It was really powerful and well worth seeing.
The neighborhood the house is in is also incredibly pretty, and it's a bit surreal knowing that but a scant 70 years ago it was all under Nazi occupation.
