Hi guys! It is me back on Amsterdam blog!! I just wanted to upload this because one I really wanted to write this since I had such a great time and two, Its better if you do it whilst your memory is fresh enough in detail!! So this si going to be full second day!! I woke up around 8am ish which is quite early because I had one guy who snored so bad the whole time, so I couldn't properly sleep ffs... lol I literally can't stand with that, It is a nightmare for me! So it wasn't the best feeling to be waking up to and got ready and left the hostel about 9 am. We were planning to have breakfast at a pancake shop in town, so we went there! It was already full of customers and seems to be a typical touristy spot for the breakfast!! I will talk about this restaurant more in detail in food blog in the future! I had strawberry one and my friend went for savoury one! Then we got out of there after an hour and half. And we just wandered around the centre and as we booked Heineken Experience from 11 o'clock, we took a tram and headed to the place!! It was such a cool experience to visit there, it was one of the most popular spots to check out for tourists and I did it!! we got to learn quite a lot about history about it and how it's become successful and brewing method, ingredient, uniqueness and stuff!! We also did beer pouring challenge and I bloody nailed on my first ever go! It was a machine one and not the actual beer server, but I think i will do a good job as a bartender! haha At the end of the tour, we could try a glass of possibly the most fresh and extra cold Heineken beer!! That included the ticket fees which is really cool! I don't normally drink beer, but it was soon tasty and chilled beer is the best any way!! I felt a bit tipsy and I really enjoyed it! It was much more fun than I expected!! After we finished the visit to Heineken Brewery, we felt quite hungry and I found an amazing coffee shop/ cafe. We just popped in! Again, i will write more about this in the food blog, so keep your eyes on it!! We had the great lunch there although they have expensive food. but good quality food make up for it!! It was definitely worth it!! Then after we had the amazing lunch, we did another wander around headed to I Amsterdam sign!! We actually went there a day before,but since the weather was nice and my hay fever wasn't as bad as yesterday thanks to the tablet I took in that morning! The day before it was full of tourists and was absolutely manic! There was no way yo could take a picture of yourself with no one around the sign! haha The second visit was still busy, but it wasn't too bad, so we thought it was another great photo opportunity!! We took so many pictures again like classic tourists! haha People were asking each other to take pictures of themselves! lol After that, we visited Van Gugh Art Museum which is nearby this sign. It was literally few mins walk from there, and you could see building! I didn't know a lot about his works and life before that, like I was only familiar with the name, but I now I feel educated being able to visit there so seeing many of his arts! It was such a cool experience!! NO pictures was allowed, so I didn't take any but it was highly recommended spot and you should definitely check out!! Then we had some time to do for souvenir shopping, I bought some weird stuffs and got back to the hostel to drop those stuff off. We came out to town again and had the dinner and stopped by a pub!! I had a gin and my friend had a beer which is not Heineken! haha There were two couples from Ireland, so we had a bit of chat and after we left the pub, we went to The Red Light District!!! Our final touristy spot to visit!! It looked really beautiful in the night and I was in a total shock just by walking around that area! I am not gonna talk about it a lot, it was the best place to visit!!! I wanna go back there again! lol Overall, We had the best holiday ever!!! Because we used English pretty much the whole time, I didn't feel like I was in the other country, but it was all stunning and beautiful canals!! I can't wait to visit there again! At the same time, I would love to visit other countries,too!! Okay, I think that's all from me! The next day was just consisted of flying back to the UK. Where is the next holiday's destination gonna be? You should keep your eyes on me!! lo Cheers guys!! Y

Hi guys!! How are you al doing today!! It has been ages and I haven't opened this website for such a long time!! I missed writing stuff on this page and I haven't got around to cracking on with this recently!! However, I had a week off from work last week and I was planning to travel when I got my holiday! I was looking for some countries to travel in the meantime, first Italy came up which is where I have always wanted to visit so bad and I have friends there so If I go there I can potentially meet them again. However, things changed along the way, then I decided to go to Amsterdam!! It is also one of my dream countries to visit and I was so surprised how cheap it was to fly there from England!!! I was checking the tickets online, then saw the price and I could(t resist it, it was kind of like an instant decision, ' I have to go there, its gonna be incredible!!' I planned for a couple days to spend there, bought a ticket and booked a hostel. On the night before, I was so excited!! I travelled actually with a friend who I met in Brighton it was the best idea to travel with friend, it surely made the trip more fun and enjoyable!! We arrived there around 7pm ish and headed to the hostel we booked I will talk about the hostel experience other time! The first impression I had there was Oh my god, its too much pollen!!! I kept sneezing and literally couldn't stop it! haha I was worried about the days ahead! The hay fever indeed killed throughout the days! I managed to buy tablets and took them, so it went down a bit ,but It was quite a nightmare!! lol Next morning, we woke up and went to town. As soon as I got off the bus, what i saw was hundreds of cyclers going and coming all around your directions!! It was an absolute madness! You basically have to keep your eyes out to them the whole time! They ring the bells whoever is in their way! haha it was just ridiculous! haha We just basically wandered around the city with no plans at all.. lol It was kinda good because we didn't plan thoroughly, it just ended up traveling quite in a spontaneous way which I like! It's not a massive city as soon as you got to the centre, you can walk around pretty much everywhere. I really enjoyed walking and seeing beautiful city and architectures nature. All the buildings you see are so historical and attractive, and they are different to England ones obviously. There are so so many canals around the city and everywhere was photo opportunity!! We stooped by the Anne Frank's old House which is one of the popular tourists attractions in Amsterdam. However, I didn't know you are supposed to buy tickets online in advance, we were trying to do it outside of the spot, but all the tickets are all unavailable on that day and we checked the next day ones and they were already sold out, we realised how competitive it was to get in there!! It must have been a good place to visit and could have been an amazing experience, so we skipped this and had the lunch in a little cafe. Oh my god,,, I just had chicken club sandwich but it was such a massive portion!! It was too hot inside and I couldn't finish it!!! lol To be honest tho, we did go to a gelato shop afterwards, even though i was proper filled up! haha It was really hot and boiling I regretted I didn't bring any shorts!1 I was sweating myself badly! haha We went to a zoo then, but as It was closing, we couldn't go in, so organized yeah?? haha It was such pain in the ass that I was suffering from hay fever, I couldn't stay outside anymore, We decided to come back to the hostel, as soon as we got back there, it started raining so hard , we were kinda lucky that we made it before that! Then, we just chilled in there and were getting ready for the next day!! I will talk more about next day in the next article because otherwise this blog will be too long!! It was such a fun first day!! I will see you in the next one real soon!! Cheers! Y |
