It was a lot of fun to do, everyone at their own pace and in their own language. In the museum shop, where one also had to ask for our ticket, the man refused to speak Dutch. He said that his boss didn't want him to be able to speak Dutch. (he could do it) It is always expected that Dutch speakers can speak English, in a Dutch-speaking country I think this is nonsense. The woman at the jewelry sales made an effort and was very friendly, she was great!

The history of diamonds is fascinating.

I liked it a lot, but I thought they could talk more about Brazil's diamonds. One of the most beautiful collections in the world is in Portugal. From the second decade of the 18th century until the start of mining in South Africa, around 1870, Minas Gerais was the largest diamond producer in the world and I believe most of it was cut in Amsterdam. Brazil still produced in the twentieth century and continues to produce with new growth prospects in the sector in Bahia, Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais. Recently in Coromandel they found a 92 ct diamond. Unfortunately there was no time to go to Belgium (Antwerp)

It was interesting, but the tour was very short.
