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!

Amsterdam

The other day Anna and I spent three/four hours making plans to go to Amsterdam this spring/summer. the only problem is that I still haven't moved back to the UK so I'm not working and bringing in my own money, I'm planning on getting a job when I go back to London this summer, but other than that I have to rely on my mum and my aunt. my mum gave her blessings for us to go but she said that she wouldn't be funding me, which means no real guarantee that I will have money to go on this trip.
That put an end to the planning.
Now, this doesn't mean that we still don't have plans to go because we kind of do, but at the same time we aren't getting out hopes up that we will.
We're just going to wait and see what happens when I get there in May.
I'm hoping that I can save up enough somehow so we can go on a 5 day/4 night trip and still have money to enjoy the great things that can be found in Amsterdam.
Mainly, I really want to go to the Rijksmuseum and vintage clothes shopping; I've read that its a marvellous place for vintage clothes.

This my friends, is classic me.

I still have a road map somewhere for my "Road Trip Through Italy" so.

I haven't a clue how I'm going to find the money for this trip but I feel like me and Anna really do need a real vacation somewhere we both can have a great time, and Amsterdam, despite what its perceived as by the "youth", is a great place for more than just getting high or drunk or whatever.

Plans for 2015

This year I plan to do amazing, fulfilling things. I may not be able to travel what with Ramadan landing smack-dab in the middle of summer, but I still want this summer to be amazing.

I'm going to be going to London for my exams in May, and I'll be in London until the end of July hopefully. I'm going to be staying with my brother and hanging out with all the friends I haven't seen since last summer.

My plans to make this summer amazing are all on the "She" list, and we'll see how many I actually get through. The ones i definitely want to get done are the cupcake decorating classes and self-defence classes.

I also want to visit my friend in Brighton again, and do more things than just stuff myself full of frozen yoghurt, but we'll see how that goes.

Also in Brighton is the "Shit Shop" where all the antique/vintage and amazing things I love are sold. Last year I got me the coolest and also most annoying bag ever to exist.

Coolest/most annoying bag to ever exist

The reason its so annoying is because its like an old doctor's bag, so it opens really weird and its super hard to open.
Great as an anti-theft feature, not so good for when you really need to get something out in a timely manner.

They also have a clothes section which I am planning to raid, because vintage clothes are perfect for all my collar/lace needs.

I eventually want to go and live in Brighton, I want to go to Uni there and live with my bestie in a cute little place all of our own. Not sure if she really wants to live there, but she does want to get out of London so we'll see if i can't convince her. But that's not going to happen for a while yet

Also on the agenda for 2015 is learning Italian. Can't go to Italy if you can't speak at least a few sentences in Italian, now can you? the answer is no.

Then there is joining a 24h gym. Anna and I like to keep in shape -despite all the chocolate cake and doughnuts I'm always devouring, but we don't like being disturbed during our workouts and we like to goof around, so we wanted to join a 24h gym and go at night and get our exercise needs, and we'll see how that goes. I'm looking forward to the weight machines.

This is starting to seem like my 2015 summer plans.

Before summer is here I have plans to re-claim my six-pack and keep up with my health. So no more cake (She says after eating two servings of vanilla cake with custard). 

Don't judge me!

This year I also plan to pass my exams. Before anything else on this list, that should be number one, but you know -priorities.
