Anne Frank House

After our cruise we had a short walk to the Anne Franck House for our 4:30pm entry time. These tickets were not easy to get as they release them 6 weeks in advance at something crazy like 3am on Tuesdays. Ours included a 30 min intro talk followed by museum entry.

Because we didn’t get our charcuterie board and despite us eating giant pancakes for breakfast, Carey and I could use a snack. Carey headed for supposedly the best hot dog stand in Amsterdam (self proclaimed on their sign) and I grabbed a large fry to share.

The food cart guy was very friendly and asked if I was from the South. He said my accent gave it away. He then said I sounded like Dolly Parton. I’m not mad about that. I love me some Dolly.

We arrived at the Anne Frank house a few minutes early as instructed. There was a large line and then a door marked entrance 2 with no one there. Our tickets instructed us to go to entrance two so we cut the entire line. Most of the people in the long line didn’t have the intro program but others just can’t follow directions.

Greg didn’t want to be in the pic so I had to make sure I squatted to make sure he was. Standing at entrance 2.

We have been to the Anne Frank house before but the second time was just as impactful. Hard to imagine what the members of that family went through. Pics weren’t allowed in the museum but we could take them in the room where we heard the talk.

Time to find something for dinner before heading back to the apartment.
