Having a Gouda time

Today we arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands! I've been here before when I studied abroad but I was so excited to come back. It's totally unlike any place we have been so far. All of the buildings are so Dutch and adorable and the canals make it extra unique. 

SO many bikes.


Our hostel is in a perfect location and is literally right next to Vondelpark, the biggest park in Amsterdam. Once we got here we walked around a bit and decided to go to the Tulip Museum! 


It wasn't the wildest museum I've ever been to, but we learned that in the 1600s people were so crazy over tulips that the price of one bulb was equal to a town house in Amsterdam!! They're very pretty, but that's insane! 


"Sugar coated tulip"



When we left the museum Julie looked next door and saw the glowing yellow words, "Amsterdam Cheese Museum." Of course we ran straight there.
This was a cheese shop that had like 30 different cheeses and you could sample all of them! Downstairs they had a little info area and I learned a little bit about how cheese is made (I honestly had no clue.)


it was pretty cool and they had this awesome photo booth: 
Hallo cheese!!

I'm super excited for tomorrow, we are going to rent bikes. Woohoo!!!
