Meanwhile, after another relaxed start we wandered past shops in the direction of the Stedelijk Museum which has had a significant extention that looks like a bathtub from the outside. We started with lunch, well it was almost lunch time, and found a table outside the museum cafe. It extremely busy and our rather laconic waitress was not particularly disturbed that we had not got our drinks. At the third time of asking Peter said he'd have water instead, but she pointed out it would be a 20 minute wait for water anyway! They had an interesting system going. Waiters taking orders on what looked like mobile phones which were relayed inside we assumed. Some people emerged with drinks and others emerged with food. No one emerged with our drinks. Our lunch did eventually appear and was fine. It was very warm in the sun.
Refreshed we went into the museum which houses design (one of our favourites) and modern art. It wasn't crowded or over populated with officious guards and we enjoyed our wander around. After a while I realised that photography was permitted so I pulled my camera out for a few shots.
