On Easter Monday we made the three hour drive to Amsterdam. Mia has never been there and the weather forecast looked really good with lots if sun. On Mia's wish list was a visit to the Van Gogh museum for which it is very difficult to get tickets - but with some luck we could snap up some in a one minute window at 5 pm the evening before when some extra tickets became available online.
Two of our favorite pictures - the sun eset one is from Paul Signac shown in a special exhibition called Yellow - Van Gogh's favorite color
One of his many self portraits
The architecture of the museum was also impressive
One of Van Gogh's last paintings: Almond Blossoms - a present for his brother for the birth of his son
After the museum we headed to the busy Vondelpark nearby - next to a very fancy neighborhood
Then for dinner we looked for a Chinese restaurant in the center not far from the main train statio
Back to our hotel at the outskirts of Amsterdam with the very modern metro.
