Amsterdam

Today we want to tell you about our third full day in the Netherlands. 

In the morning we went to school, where we waited for the bus. Together with a group of Spaniards and our partners, we went to Amsterdam. There we were divided into groups and our group went to the van Gogh Museum. This is a very large building consisting of three floors of paintings by the great artist. The guys from Russia were on tour with English speaking tour guide and Dutch students were on tour in the Dutch language. We learned the life story of Vincent van Gogh and learned how you can quickly and easily describe the picture in its colors. The museum tour lasted an hour and then we went to the square, which was near the museum. This is amazing place for the  photos.

In free  time, the guys drove us to the shops, where we could buy souvenirs. For example: traditional waffles, magnets and key holders with symbols of the Netherlands and etc.

After free time we had a boat excursion through the canals of Amsterdam. It was really cool! Being on board the boat, we could see the picturesque views of the parks of Amsterdam, the magnificent architecture of the buildings and feel the cool wind.

During the tour, the guide told interesting facts about the buildings and the city. We had a great rest and made a lot of photos.
