Amsterdam reloaded

Went to Amsterdam again for the easter weekend with two friends. Last time was more than one year ago in December. I still remember much of the city's layout so that I don't really need a map.
Started off with the earliest flight possible and some delay due to the necessity of de-icing the plane.
Weather wasn't much better in Amsterdam so far but still bearable. Had some nice breakfast first. Pancake with bacon and cheese which looked more like a pizza, haha. Had a nice stroll around the city and after leaving our luggage at the hotel headed over to Anne Frank museum only to see the masses of people queueing. The museum staff was giving out umbrellas and chocolate eastereggs to the people but we still couldn't get ourselves to join those unfortunes.

Instead we went to the Heineken gift store and settled onto very comfy seats that just engulfed us in somekind of chillout lounge. Before we were beyond the point of ever getting up again, we took turns in trying to beat a virtual goalkeeper by shooting a very real football at him. Apart from that the shop was pretty lame. Might be something if you're really into Heineken.

The Rembrandt museum was next. It's basically the house where he lived with as much of his or similar stuff as possible. The audioguide didn't tell much about Rembrandt himself so I would say it's not really worth the 12,50 Eur but they have a lot of his etchings which are just outstanding and easily the best part of the whole exhibition.
Slowly walked back to the hotel afterwards with the sun breaking through the clouds once in a while and had a super-sized chocolate covered waffle on the way.

Hung out at the hotel then relaxing and naping. It's not the best hotel I've ever been to. The beds are basically two stacked very soft mattresses. Since soft+soft eq supersoft I pulled one off and put it onto the very floor. That's at least a little better.
Headed off to find a nice place for some food and ended up at a terrible sports bar with a pathetic little burger and expensive beer. Shit. Well, that's the danger of going out in the middle of the tourist party quarter.
Later went to "Bourbon Street" a really nice Blues/Jazz pub to see a German band that was actually pretty nice. But since drinks where again awfully expensive (4.50 for half a pint of cider) and we were really tired we just went back to the hotel to have a good night's sleep.
