On Wednesday, Roman and I woke up, got ready, and checked out of our room. We left our luggage in the closet that the hotel provides and went out into the city.
After some breakfast, we headed to Madame Tussauds where I was able to get a picture with Johnny Depp's wax Captain Jack Sparrow. I still hope I get a picture with the real thing one day though. There were lots of celebrities on display in the museum, from historical figures, to musicians, to actors. I wondered what it would feel like to know that you had wax replicas of yourself, probably surreal. The tour took over an hour and when we were finished we headed to the Amsterdam Dungeon.
Roman and I waited in line for about ten minutes and then we able to go inside and wait for our tour to begin. We were in a group of about 25 people and there were actors that took us through the different rooms of the building and gave little performances explaining historic occurrences such as the Spanish Inquisition and torture methods and the plague. There was also a mirror maze, which was the scariest part to me because I started getting a little claustrophobic toward the end of it haha, and a ride at the end. The Dungeon made a few of the girls that were on the tour with us scream every five minutes or so, but I am used to haunted houses because of growing up near Cedar Point and just had fun with the whole thing.
When we were finished with that, we headed back to the hotel to grab our luggage and head for the airport. We took the train from the central station to the airport and got to our gate in more than enough time. Our flight back was short and sweet like the way there and we got back to Zurich around seven.
On our drive back to the farm, we stopped at the store to buy dinner and then stopped by Uschi's house to drop something off and chat for a few minutes. I showed her the pictures we took and then we headed out. When we got back to the house, Roman made us fajitas because we were starving. They were so good!
I was able to skype with my dad, Eric, and even Uncle Jack for a little while after that and then I headed to bed.
