Amsterdam, take three - Booked!

Aaaahhh!

I am so excited! 

Anna and I have finally booked our trip to Amsterdam, and we are so proud of how much we saved on it!

It's booked for early June for five nights, because it was so affordable for us, and so much cheaper than we expected. 

We decided to rent a room outside the centre a little bit, and we'll be staying at a BnB with a lovely couple, who have promised to show us around and help us out when we get there.

The room was super cheap and had everything we could possibly need, the couple seem really friendly and sweet and we are hoping they don't turn out to be psycho murderers - just kidding! 

(No, seriously.)

The place is called Uithoorn , which is 30 mins outside the centre by car and 40 to 50 mins by bus or train. It's next to a river and there are plenty of cute little roads to go biking, which we plan to do after I teach Anna how to ride a bike!

The couple we are staying with offered to help us with travel by lending us their train/tram and bus cards, which are like Oyster cards in the UK, so travelling around will be easy, hopefully.

Other than that our plans are the same, plenty of museum, lots of vintage shopping and sight seeing!

Until June for more my lovelies!

Amsterdam, take two

Project Amsterdam is still a go!

We decided on a compromise and to go for a weekend, or three days, instead of the original five days we wanted.
I'm hoping that we can afford that better than five days cause that can be expensive when you have no actual steady income.
Other than a basic plan of what might happen, our plans are still not quite solid, and I'm the kind of person who likes to make lists and plans, down to the smallest of details.
The only travel plans that are definitely happening are my plans to go to London in May for my exams and to see family and friends.

The to-do list for Amsterdam:

. The Anne Frank House
. The Rijksmuseum
. The Van Gogh Museum
. Rent a Bike and ride around Amsterdam
. Visit Vondelpark
. Visit the flower market (Bloemen markt)
. Visit The Hortus Botanicus
. Try some street foods (Raw Herring, yum?)
. Vintage Clothes Shopping

 Our trip is going to be mostly museums and artsy, and we've decided on early June so I don't have any clashes with my exams.
We might end up going somewhere in England too, a bit closer to home. Maybe visit some places we want to live when we move in together.

Until next time!
