The second day in Amsterdam started great. We had our breakfast downstairs and then we went out to walk around and see some museums. As I've mentioned in other blogs, our Hotel de Paris was really near to all the museums and important places and we could just walk to them, so it was not a big deal to walk there. And it was good, because we could sightsee many things until we got to the museums.

Well, we had some things planned and we had some choices to make, so first of all there was a choice of where to go first.

Everyone wanted to visit Madame Tussaud's, so we went there. The price was not cheap, but it's worth it I think. You can see so many famous faces there looking like they are alive that you are pleased with your journey there. I have described our visit to Madame Tussaud's in another blog, so I won't write the same here.

The Dam Square was really beautiful with all that pavement and doves around us. We had a photoshoot there and the doves were just coming and coming. Some people were feeding them with cookies and stuff like that. Then we went to the Royal Palace and I have described it in another blog too.

Amsterdam was a huge city after Ommen, so we walked dazzled there and wanted to look in every shop and see every little thing everywhere.

I wonder how emotions can become addictive. Once you try to imagine something either you taste failure or “emotions run deep as oceans, exploding”. I believe most of us are aware of a boy who went to a king who suggested the boy to look around his castle and at the same time hold a spoon in his hand full of liquid and not to spill it. The boy couldn’t do so. On the first try he failed because all his attention was on the spoon and he couldn’t see anything else on his way in the castle. And on the second try he also failed because he was so delighted by king’s luxury he couldn’t pay attention to the spoon... we may consider those as emotions of human beings. Emotions can possess our mind and our mind can possess us.
