It was only fair to give Amsterdam another whirl for my last weekend in
NL. I and my 2 closest friends here even booked a hostel for Saturday night to
make sure we didn’t miss out on anything in order to get back for the last
train! We spent the Saturday walking around in the lovely weather (just as I
did on my first visit to Amsterdam!), having a look at the street performers of
Dam Square and relaxing. We’d also booked ourselves an hour long canal boat
tour of Amsterdam which was awesome. Unlike last time I wasn’t in control of
steering the thing so I could really soak up the canal atmosphere from the
outside seating area. We even managed to catch an odd word or two from the boat’s
automated guide which was unfortunately only playing inside!
The evening was spent at a number of clubs and bars in Amsterdam’s
Leidesplein (a square I’d already been to before and loved!) because it was where
our hostel was located. Very convenient! It seemed like so long ago that I was
chilling in Amsterdam with my sister and friend. Back then I was thinking about
coming to Ypenburg to start with the host family I’d just been invited to join.
7 months later and there I was again but this time thinking about coming home to start afresh in the UK...
You've certainly been on quite a journey and not just in terms of physical travel.
