Day 6 (Tourism)

Today was one of our more touristy days.  We went on a guided tour through the city of Amsterdam. When we stopped for a lunch break at we met another pair of enterprising people. It turns out they were here in Amsterdam to try and reach out to a shipping line to try and spread their products, funny enough they were rejected by Maersk as well (they were even Canadian). 
Unfortunately since we got sucked into the conversation with our fellow Canadians, our museum tour group left us moving to the next museum. However this potential  conversation is a lot more valuable than a few hours experience with art, since we now have new contacts for our company! With local contacts from Canada who we can easily do business with we could have a solid client on our hands.

We parted ways with the business men after around 3 O’clock to catch up on the rest and relaxation this day was supposed to be.

  1. Wow great blog! Looks like you guys saw some really interesting sites while you were abroad. I bet the food was amazing because it looks tasty. What was it like speaking Dutch there? Did you run into any trouble asking for directions?
