Heiniken was the scheduled tour of the day. They have what hey call "The Heiniken Experience" - and is truly was. Imagine Disney and beer - that's it. It had a lot of history about how the brewery came to be and some gimmicky interactive exhibits. We even became the beer in a movie that took us through the process in an interactive screening. The highlight of the exhibit is the tasting. It was fun but geared to twenty something's.
After we finished our Heiniken tour we decided to take a boat cruise. You can't come to Amsterdam and not do a canal tour! While we waited for our evening tour, we had a snack of croquettes and fries in an Irish Pub across from the boat stand. It was very pleasant sitting and watching the boats go by and the ducks swimming around. The cruise was very pleasant. There was a lot of excitement in Amsterdam this evening because of the World Cup match between the Netherlands and Spain. At the museum park near our hotel, thousands of people turned out to watch the game on giant screens. It was amazing to see. The streets were nearly empty around our hotel. It was very eerie. No bikes, no walkers ... Nada.
We stayed up and watched the rest of the soccer game when we returned to the hotel. The Dutch beat the Spaniards - 5-1. Everyone should be in a good mood!
Back to museum study today - our last day here. :(
