I never made a post for the Netherlands part of spring break but that was a while ago so this will be a sort of condensed version. We spent four days in the Netherlands. We stayed in Amsterdam and took two day trips to Haarlem and The Hague. We went to those places to check out museums like Mauritshuis to see paintings like Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring and Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson of Dr Tulp.
Amsterdam highlights include Rembrandt's house and the Van Gogh museum. The Van Gogh museum is easily one of my favorite places ever. I love everything about the Netherlands. The people are nice (and pretty much everyone speaks English!). I loved seeing the two smaller towns as well. I could definitely see myself living in Amsterdam! Also, dutch pancakes are delicious.
When we were booking fights, it seemed difficult to get home from Amsterdam so we decided to fly out of Brussels instead. With less than a day in Brussels, we decided to go to Rene Magritte's house. Brussels was freezing and difficult to navigate. However we stayed at a real hotel that night and the beds were incredibly comfortable.
