Went to the Amsterdams Historisch Museum. Interesting to see how Amsterdam actually only flourished for a relatively short period in the 17th century. And as Danes, we realized how relatively benign the German occupation of Denmark during WW2 was - compared to the brutal oppression of the Netherlands.
And after looking through the windows of the Eetkamer van de Jordaan (and finding it absolutely full last night), we enjoyed a last, brilliant meal in Amsterdam. Dutch classics with a modern and exotic twist. (Though we wondered why such a fine restaurant would have that rather shabby wine list...)
