Amsterdam and Delft

This morning we checked out of Haarlem and headed to the big city of Amsterdam. We did Rick Steves' Central Amsterdam walking tour (which included sampling raw herring!) and then went to the Van Gogh museum. After the museum we were pretty tired, so we hopped on a train to Delft. Delft is SUCH a cute town! And our hotel is really nice and in a great location! So we dropped off our bags and strolled around for a while, stopping by a grocery to pick up some Dutch specialties, including some delicious looking little cakes. We came back to the hotel for a while and then we went to an Asian restaurant for supper (Rick Steves' said it was popular with the locals and he was right!). Tomorrow we head to London (HOPEFULLY!)... the Eurostar is not running all the way to Brussels because of Monday's accident, but we are hoping to get on in Lille. The service is extremely limited (1/3 normal service), so we'll see!
