Went to the Anne Frank house/museum this morning. Long queues and a long wait to get it but well worth it. The house itself has been well preserved and has a new exterior to help protect it. Everyone shuffles round slowly reading various extracts from Anne's diary and going through each room, including the hiding annex. Gives you a whole new perspective on life to see it all. Hard to feel what it was like at the time during the Nazi occupation. Tried to find an English copy of the diary but they'd totally sold out!! Got the wrong bill during lunch in an outside café. Had to rectify that and get some money back. Probably a genuine mistake but when you're foreigners you sometimes wonder if it's deliberate. Given the different money, ie Euros and not Pounds a lot of people would possibly not think since you just don't on holiday!!! The afternoon was spent wandering the streets again and a boat ride round the canals. Most of the walking though was due to trying to find the actual boat berths. They were nowhere to be found. We just used the philosophy of following a boat trail back along the canals and eventually finding somewhere based on the Amstel.            Comment on this article
