have you met hank

Upon arrival at Amsterdam central station we went left out of the station past the floating chinese restaurant over the pedestrian bridge, past memo and onto the second dock to our hotel (boat hotel). This is where we met Hank. Due to the fact that Kelli talks really fast Hank misunderstood her name until he saw it on the check in list. He thought she said what the equivalent of coconut in Dutch. He then continued to explain how some Dutch words were similar to English words. He told us our room was clean and waiting for us and then asked if it was our first time in amsterdam. He showed us a map of the city. Telling us where we were on the map and the immediately began circling this for us to see. The first thing he highlighted were the shops, I am assume because we are girls and most girls travel to go shopping but as I am currently carrying everything on my back I have yet to shop. Don't worry I'll have a few new pairs of shoes before i fly home. Next he circled a few major squares and museums like the van gogh museum and the Anne frank house. Then he pointed to the red light district and said it was safe for us to go there at night. Then he told us it was okay to go into coffeeshops but to buy inside not outside. Then he asked us if we knew about space cakes. He told us to only have one even though we would want more because it takes about 45 minutes for things to happen. He said on guest had multiple ended up sleeping for 16 hours and missing his flight. That would not be me. Hank, what a guy. Next stop: Belgium Nicole
