6 Days to go! 1 week ago

In exactly one month I shall be leaving my house to go to Amsterdam! 1 month ago

Went to Amsterdam over the weekend. Only downer was that it was very wet and very cold. The weather had been so mild the week before and I was looking forward to seeing all the spring flowers. I did however go to some of the museums such as Anne Franks house and I took a daytrip out of Amsterdam to an museum village which had real working windmills and workers actually still wearing clogs. I am sure I will return sometime soon to take the canal cruise and walks in the park. The Van Gough museum was under renovation so thats also on the next itinery. Museums a bit pricey but everything else I found quite affordable compared to London. 2 months ago

We have the dates so on May 10th Stewart, Chris, Ben, Daniel & I will be making our way to Amsterdam!

I shall send off for my passport the end of this month, pay for Amsterdam the end of Febuary, then buy the train tickets etc the end of march.

Then it’s just a waiting game! 4 months ago

I currently live in Holland so this isn’t a hard goal for me. Visiting Amsterdam is really worth it, I go there about once a month and every time I am impressed. Good museums, fun and spontaneous tourists, it’s all good. 4 months ago

When I travel, I research the place I want to go. Used to we just had books at the library or purchasing them at a bookstore. Now there is the internet and google. It is easy to click “inexpensive hotels in Amsterdam.” At the same time, I narrow down the time of year I want to go. Amsterdam in May was awesome. I don’t think it would be as much fun in the winter, but the rates would be cheaper then. Then I use a credit card to buy my ticket. Nowadays, I can pay my card off before I go. Back then, I saved up my money before I went and took traveller’s checks. If you are younger, you canstay at a hostel and that is a great way to meet other folks. Or you could try that website Couchsurfing or something like that. 4 months ago
