4th September, first stop Amsterdam. Jet2 flight was an hour delayed (standard), so we got in at 9pm. We took the train to Central Station, and a tram to the area of our hostel... then we got lost and spent an hour walking in circles, passing the hostel several times. Eventually we found it, and were pleased to find we'd been moved to a private double room (we were booked in to an 8 bed dorm). Our room is the tiniest room ever, I can reach both walls by standing with my arms outstretched. It has a bunk bed, and I get the top bunk =D
The room next door was occupied by about 20 teenage boys last night, who were up until 4am shouting and playing, Josh shouted abuse at them at one point, they were so annoying.
We got up at 9am, and went for coffee, then walked through Amsterdam getting our bearings. It is a beautiful city, and I love the little thin houses and the water. I can't believe how many bikes there are - everyone cycles everywhere.
The red light district was insane! So weird and funny. The blue light district was something else.... Josh hated that.
In the afternoon we went to a few coffee shops, and had a slice of pizza for lunch. We had Italian food for dinner. I have managed to avoid being run over by a tram today. Tomorrow I may not be so lucky. We have a six hour train journey to Berlin tomorrow, so have stocked up and bread and cheese for the journey. So so tired now, and it's only 10pm. Must be all the walking.
