D146 -- Downtime in Amsterdam

Today was another relaxed day for us. Except for a few moments of precious sunshine, the weather is still cold and gray, and as result we haven't had much motivation to do a lot of touristy stuff. Instead, we strolled around Amsterdam doing a little window shopping and stopped for some Indonesian food (there are many Indonesian restaurants here because of the Dutch colonization of the country). We also caught an afternoon movie (X-Men 3). We were shocked at the price of the ticket – US$12 each for a matinee! For dinner we decided to have another night of pizza from the excellent takeaway place around the corner from our hotel. They use really fresh ingredients and a wood-fired oven, so the pizza is the best we've had in a long time.
