We have never been to a wax museum before so this is quite a fun side trip.<\/p>\n

\"1124181112a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know all of the figures depicted, but there are a few choice ones that are unmistakable.<\/p>\n

\"1124181203\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before actually getting into the museum we watch a short movie about how they make the wax figures.<\/p>\n

\"1124181204\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every hair is put in one at a time.<\/p>\n

\"1124181206\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Their faces and body are mapped with computers and then casts are made. That must mean ET IS REAL!!!!<\/p>\n

\"1124181207\"<\/a><\/p>\n

John, with the ultimate prisoner, Hannibal Lector. How did they get permission to cast him?<\/p>\n

\"1124181208\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He\u2019s much happier to pose with Marilyn.<\/p>\n

\"1124181209\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seems none of us wanted to pose with Madonna.<\/p>\n

\"1124181214\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a great view of the Dam Platz from the top floor of the wax museum.<\/p>\n

\"1124181216\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now its time to \u201cBeat It\u201d on back down to street level.<\/p>\n

\"1124181218\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When in Amsterdam, a date with Mary Jane is a must, just ask Bob Marley.<\/p>\n

\"1124181219\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Princess Diana is very tall.<\/p>\n

\"1124181220\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time to get my Zen on. Is it weird that I\u2019m smiling while getting my picture taken with wax people?<\/p>\n

\"1124181222\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Persistence of Memory, we all hope for it as much as Salvador Dali.<\/p>\n

\"1124181225a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EEEEKKKKKK!!! I love Marvel Comic characters. Can I hope?<\/p>\n

\"1124181226\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ant Man<\/p>\n

\"1124181226a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I stand on the pad, it sounds like Ironman is powering up.<\/p>\n

\"1124181227a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stand on the Rainbow Bridge and the lights start going and wind blows. This is too fun.<\/p>\n

\"1124181227c\"<\/a><\/p>\n

America\u2019s hero.<\/p>\n

\"1124181228\"<\/a><\/p>\n

John\u2019s giving Thor\u2019s Hammer a try.<\/p>\n

\"1124181230\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What a hunk.<\/p>\n

\"1124181230b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

John\u2019s like, so he as a few inches on me\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1124181231a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay Spiderman, get me down from here!<\/p>\n
