I’ve just awoken to the news that the shuttle bus that takes people into town has already left for the morning. This really sucks because what would normally be a free service has just turned into a 7 euro bus ride, and a 14 euro train ride. We did a lot of sightseeing yesterday, and the main part of today will consist of the Anne Frank house, Van Gough museum, and whatever else we happen to come by. This are super expensive in Europe, and the dollar really doesn’t get you very far by comparrison. Tomorrow (Monday) we leave for Barcelona, where we will be staying for two nights until we depart for Ireland. It’s been a pretty amazing trip so far, and I wish I had the time to go into great deal about just how different everything is over here. Service in restaurants is absolutely horrid, most likely because you don’t tip like you do in America, if at all. So, they are in no hurry to take your order and in most cases, like last night, you’ll wait 30 mins in a not crowded place, before you place your order.
