Day 9

Although we could not see the jewellery exhibition in Stedelijk museum, we still got to enjoy other running exhibitions.

It was good seeing Marc Chagall's famous cubism paintings, along with Segantini, Matisse and many more.

Van Gough's museum was amazing.

It was extremely crowded as it was a Sunday but every single piece of work was so worth looking in to!

I loved his paintings, every single one of them, and his letters to his brother were also memorable. I had the chance to hear it from the audio phone, translated into English, and I must say they were very artistic. 

I think I really enjoyed reading the letters because they were very personal and emotional. They show struggles and hardships he encountered to have a successful career as an artist, and that  show he was so passionate about art that he could never give it up in any circumstances.

I really wanted to stay longer but had to get going to do some exploring.  

I got off at Dam Square, walked over to the Nine Streets, wandered around in the rain, trying to find some unique, warm clothing to bring back home with me. Actually ended up buying a pair of shoes and a hoodie.

Dinner was outside of the hostel, at 'Moders' and I enjoyed my plate. But I think everyone really enjoyed their desserts!
