Museum Day 2 plus Shopping

This day was not completely filled with museum visits, but starts with a couple. We visited the Dutch Resistance Museum. This was a fascinating place. The museum's collection shows The Netherlands as it was shortly before, during and after WWII. Later, two of us sat down and had coffee and chatted while the third member of our team walked across the street to the Holocaust Museum and came back to meet the coffee drinkers.

One of our stops was at the Hotel Krasnapolsky. I was told by a friend I must have the apple tart served at this hotel. On arrival we were told the apple tart was off-season. I guess we were not far enough into fall for the particular apple that makes this apple tart so special. Disappointed, we sought out a different apple tart which was really very good.

This was the day we visited a hyped shopping spot—Magna Plaza. It was pretty much a waste of time. The 19th c landmark building was once the main post office. It was interesting but the shops weren't much to speak about.

We took a peak in the de Bejenkorf department store.  This place earned more points from our group than Magna Plaza.  It is the city's most fashionable department store and is in a high-profile spot. It sits opposite the Royal Palace. This place had a nice kitchen department.
