Amsterdam, Netherlands, Day 4 - Rikjsmuseum, Museumplein

June 8th Spent the entire day at the Rijksmuseum, a national museum dedicated to arts and history.  It's pretty big, so you can easily spend an entire day here.  I woke up at 8am, checked out at 10ish and spent the rest of the day until 5pm (closing time) exploring.  Finally it was time to catch the bus to the airport where I bought stroopwaffles, had dinner and checked into my flight.
