Got to our hostel and got all settled, showered and set up then we decided to head out on the town. At first we just went for a walk around the block and then back to our hostel, as we didn't really know the area. Then we decided to venture further into the area we are staying, which just happens to be the Red Light District. Overall, I must say it's not quite what I expected. It's a lot more just awkward but really still a very neat area of town. As the other streets around here, there are two streets separated by a canal with a couple bridges between.
It was getting close to dinner time, or 1PM for those of you on the East Coast, and we decided not to be TOO adventurous and just had dinner at the restaurant at our hostel. After having a delicious meal of nachos (or cheese and sour cream, depending on your affiliations) and a greek wrap (never would have thought to combine grilled peppers and feta cheese. Deeelish!) we became the stereotypical visitors to Amsterdam and stopped off at the Grasshopper for a little relaxation time.
As it was only around 8PM we decided to go for another walk around town and stopped at the Royal Palace for a quick photoshoot and then finished our day off with some amazing ice cream from a little place beside our hostel. Not realizing it was directly next door we walked straight past our hostel and only clued in about 5 minutes down the street. Silly tourists.
