The Anne Frank House is the most popular tourist attraction in Amsterdam. We did not know until it was too late that we should have pre-purchased our tickets 6 weeks in advance.

I am behind on my travel posts, life has been busy. So while I sort out my travel writing and decode my journal notes, enjoy these airport shenanigans. Okay, we didn’t actually cause any issues at the airport but I did go exploring because I was bored. What do you do while bored at the
