The next morning we went to the Rijksmuseum, of which the most awesome part was seeing Rembrandt's Night Watch - it really is a magnificent painting that you should see at once during your lifetime. After that it was time for the Heineken Experience - a new (revamped in 2008) tour through the Heineken factory, with the coolest exhibitions and things to see on everything beer-related! Check out this cool multitouch table in the Heineken Experience bar:
The beers themselves are served from a frozen tap, keeping them at a refreshing zero degrees:
We also had dinner at the Hard Rock Café in Amsterdam the following evening - a must-see if you're a fan of any kind of rock music - there's rock memorabilia covering the walls, from Jimi Hendrix to Slash and even Blink-182!
The next day, on my way back to Eindhoven, I met up with Gretchén (a fellow South African :) who showed me all around Utrecht, including the Dom Tower and monastery gardens.
This weekend, after spending Friday evening in Leiden with some fellow South Africans, I met up with my parents for the last time before the end of their tour in Dusseldorf, Germany. Dusseldorf is located on the Rhine, probably the most important river in Western Europe:
Apparently there are so many pubs and bars in the Altstadt (Old Town) of Dusseldorf that they call it the "longest bar in the world". Well, here in Eindhoven we have more that 50 pubs and bars in one street, which looks a lot more impressive! For more photos, check out my Flickr photostream!
