<p>The next morning we had the most delicious Wild Salmon bagel just around the corner of our hostel. We took a tram to Amsterdam Central, where we then caught the free ferry across the river to catch Moonrise Kingdom(the new Wes Anderson flick) at the Eye.</p>
<p><a href="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5839.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-764" title="IMG_5839" src="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5839-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="190" /></a>The Eye(http://www.eyefilm.nl/en) is unlike any movie cinema I’ve seen before. They don’t even sell popcorn. It’s a pretty classy place really, show great films, and actually call themselves a ‘film institute’&#8230;except in Dutch.</p>
<p>We learned that café’s have coffee and “coffee shops” don’t. Tweedy’s, Rookie’s, Blues Brothers…the coffee there won’t be anything special(What they do have will indeed be &#8216;special&#8217; though..<a href="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5866.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-767" title="IMG_5866" src="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5866-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="190" /></a>space cakes, etc). Bulldog, however, has fantastic hot chocolate espresso(one bar for “coffee”(not coffee) and one bar for drinks), and I think that’s all I can say about that…</p>
<p>Before we caught our last international train ride of the trip, we walked through the Van Gogh Museum. I just feel so much more cultured now! No but really, we’ve seen so much art the past few weeks.<a href="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5852.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-766" title="IMG_5852" src="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5852-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="190" /></a></p>
<p>Amsterdam’s a cool city. From what I remember.<a href="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5868.jpg"><img class="wp-image-768 alignright" title="IMG_5868" src="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5868-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="272" /></a><a href="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5810.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-761" title="IMG_5810" src="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5810-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="327" height="217" /></a><a href="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5756.jpg"><img class="wp-image-756 alignright" title="IMG_5756" src="http://sojournjones.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_5756-1024x682.jpg" alt="" width="327" height="217" /></a></p>
