Today's diary by Harris:

woke up early to go into Amsterdam
woke up with three phone calls, TV and watch
started with biking
was raining
Bern fell off bike (booboo!) hurting elbow and left palm
aphids!
Harris was not concerned at all =)
a little cold
Edam cheese factory and clog factory
Conrad took picture of his unbought clogs
took pictures of big clogs
bus dropped us off at diamond cutting place
showed us many beautiful dimonds, and there were many souvenirs
Bern wanted some Dutch salt and pepper shakers
we had free drinks
we had lunch at a cafe near the Rijks museum
Harris had noodle soup
Bern had eggplant burger
waiter couldn't understand we wanted bill but then he actually spoke English
Pat, Dan, Bern and Harris went to van Gogh (1st floor in museum)
3D images were crooked
wanted to go to Anne Frank's Museum so had to figure out the train
but we didn't know how to pay
the train driver let us get on anyway
big line at Anne Frank's, and it was raining
went back to hotel to change
Harris showered
went back to Anne Frank's and walked through museum / house
good, simple, multimedia displays
went out for dinner at an Italian restaurant
big calzone for Bern; Bern was satisfied
Harris had pasta
met up with tour at 8 o'clock and strolled through red light district with Janey
continued walking with Pat and Dan
went to sex museum
not too impressed
had large (1 kg) fries because Pat was hungry
took long time to eat
and ketchup and mayo were dirty
went back to hotel
