Peter returned from a successful visit to Paris. He managed to get the heavy suitcase there without injury to himself and left it in his new office along with a bag of heavy books and papers and a laptop. He met the staff and returned to Amsterdam optimistic about the new challenges.
I got up late and read my book and we had coffee when he arrived back. A quick debrief about the journey and then off to lunch at the place I had discovered the day before. I had a delicious smoked salmon salad and Peter had red pepper soup. Also very good apparently.

After lunch we walked across town to Rembrandt's House which I am sure we have been to before although they have built a visitor centre and restored the inside using information gleaned from his drawings. I'm sure we sat in the courtyard outside the kitchen last time. The renovation was done 15 years ago so my memory may be faulty.
The audio guide was excellent and we lost ourselves for over an hour!
On the way back via a circuitous route we came across a wonderful
building of the Amsterdam School of architcture by Nico Lansdorp.
In the evening we went to a nearby Turkish restaurant which was homely rather than gourmet!
