Amsterdam!!

Back from a fantastic wee trip to Amsterdam, what a lovely city
It has so much to offer as a cheap getaway (only cost £45 return).

I was really taken aback by the amazing beauty in this city especially with the reputation that Amsterdam has. The canals are every where all the buildings are stunning and the small bridges are so quaint. Another thing that struck me was the sense of social togetherness. Let me explain. On a tram in the dam you will find Kids, young people, adults and elderly people and they will be from different social and economic backgrounds. The same was true for the bicycles everyone rode them! I even managed to pick one up for Roy, Micah's flat mate amazing!!


Managed to hit a few sites when i was there too. Went for a tour of the Ajax stadium and when i was there they unveiled their new star winger awesome!!!


I also visited the van Gogh museum and the sunflower were mine for all of 10 seconds. Was a good museum but i can only take so much of art museums so i didn't spend all day in there.

Also went to Artis Zoo. I hadn't been to a zoo in so long and i guess i rediscovered a love for them. Was kinda sad though seeing such amazing creatures in such small surroundings. The zoo has 700 different species of animal but is in a relatively small area. i could have spent all day there. Sea Lions are cool!!!

At night we went to a small local pub, the alto jazz club and a squatters house( squatting is legal). Its such a great city if you love jazz music.

Had such an amazing few days. It was a joy to hang out with a true friend for my time there.

Thanks to Micah for being a fantastic host.
Cheers
