Anne Frank House

A sad welcome to my final blog post ☹

This last blog post will discuss other outings from Amsterdam including the Anne Frank House and a cool rooftop bar.

One of the top things on our to-do list in Amsterdam was to visit the Anne Frank House and for obvious reasons no pictures were allowed to be taken.  To be honest, I didn’t really know a lot about the Frank family or even the war.  However, this did not matter as the headset that was provided was very informative of everything I had to know to understand Anne Frank’s House.  The experience was so eerie - to see behind the bookcase and be exactly where such fear had existed.  The whole house is emptied of furniture, but pictures show exactly how the family lived during their time in the Annexe.  As you go through all the rooms, more and more of their story is told - up to and including when they were captured, it then takes you through a brief story of their time at the different camps of which they died, and follows on a little about how Otto Frank survived.

This experience was very hard-hitting, however so intriguing, would 10/10 recommend if youre interested in that type of stuff. 

So just to end on a happy note – the rooftop bar - DoubleTree by Hilton

We went here 2 nights as after the first we had to go back! They did some fabulous cocktails and had a fabulous view – what more do ya want???

Here’s Clare pretending shes drinking and if you are a “sucker for a rooftop bar” like Roxanne, then this one is for you!

Alas my blogging days are over.  Special shoutout to Clare and Roxanne for sharing these experiences with me!!

Thanks for reading !
