Emmanuel Tselentakis’s Blog from Amsterdam

Read Emmanuel Tselentakis's blog about his experience so far in Amsterdam.  Tselentakis is a sophomore from Thessaloniki, Greece who is majoring in International Business.
 
Here is the third blog of the trip:
 
Hey guys! Today was our last official day in Amsterdam.
 
Today's schedule consisted of a lot of tours. After breakfast we went and took a boat tour of the canals in Amsterdam.
 
We saw many boat houses on the sides and a lot of tourists riding paddle boats going by us and enjoying the scenery. At some point we even saw a building in the shape of a massive ship. It looked good but the weird thing was that from the back, on top of the building, there were houses and grass on it.
 
But anyway, after the boat tour we went on a bus tour around the city.
 
We saw a bunch of important buildings like the royal building or the Rembrandt and Van Gogh art museums. We also saw the Mint Building where the money of Amsterdam used to be printed.
 
After the bus tour we visited the house where Anne Frank and her family hid during WWII and, of course, where she wrote her famous diary. It was a unique experience. It was a very small house and many people were there, but despite the issue of space it was a great experience!
 
Once we were done with all the tours we returned to the hotel and were given free time to walk around, grab something to eat and rest. Nick Lavender and I went to a small bakery which had the best sandwiches in town.
 
At seven, we all went out as a team and had a dinner at the Hard Rock Café and had a great time!
 
To end the night we went out and had lots of fun, as we walked round the city, had some dessert till we had to get back to prepare for tomorrow.
 
We leave for Belgium on Thursday morning, where we will play our next two games! I am very excited to be here, and hope that we keep having a great time!
 
Thank you for your support.
