Another super busy day. We started out trying to find the temporary location for the Stedlijk Museum of modern art. The permanent museum is being renovated and they have relocated to the "central station" (as in train station.) So we went to the train station which covers about half of Amsterdam. After being directed by about 10 different people we found the museum about a mile AWAY from the train station......ah well, we needed the exercise, right? It was just OK because the permanent collection wasn't there, only some new and REALLY weird new stuff. It's next to the public library so we went to the library to print our boarding passes for our flight to Palermo the next day. What a surprise! The library was fabulous! (Though the*$&*#@% KLM site wouldn't let us check in online.) We went to the top floor of the library for lunch! It has a really great view of Amsterdam and a really, really nice cafeteria type restaurant but everything is prepared to order. After lunch we walked to the flower market, on to the bike rental place and you know the rest.
