Amsterdam

Hi Guys

So, the first stop on our adventure was Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is seen as this big old famous city with tonnes of history and culture and that, it is. But if i'm 100% honest it wasn't the best place I've been, now I don't know whether this is because I've been to quite a lot of other places and were comparing it to them but for me it wasn't what its raved about. On the other hand if your looking for a place where you can get off your tits and sloth about for a weekend without anybody judging you its definitely the place for you!

The heart of the city itself is stunning with tonnes of unique buildings, you could sped all day looking at them and with enough canals to give venice a run for its money. The city is very flat and the locals seem to take advantage of that with cycling being one of their main forms of transport.

Now you could ask anybody about the historical significance of Amsterdam and everyones first answer would probably be Anne Frank. Me and Faye queued for an hour and a half to go in the house and it was definitely worth it (even if Faye did moan the entire time). Unfortunately you couldn't take photos in the house. The house itself is a lot bigger inside than what you would think, the part that was once a working building has now been converted into a sort of archive with extracts from the diaries, which I found really interesting.

To get there I drove to hull and we boarded a P&O mini cruise the same day. we were on 'The Pride Of Rotterdam" and we were pleasantly surprised by the ship. We were expecting it to be like a little crappy ferry but instead it was actually like a miniature cruise! I'd deffo do it again.

Now anyways heres some pics.

Live the adventure

Hi Guys

So in my last blog post I mentioned that I was off doing exciting things and would keep you updated in due course, well that time is now!!

A few weeks ago my Parents went on a 2 week cruise and all my Dad could do was rub it in (the fact I wasn't going with them was killing me).

So from this me and Faye hatched a plan, we were going to do as much stuff as possible in that 2 weeks and that we did. This plan all started in about January when we just said in a conversation "you know what'll be funny? If we go to loads of places and don't tell Mum and Dad and just show them the pictures when they get home".

From then we booked trips around the country (and out of the country), we were lucky because we got some really good deals too. It was a jam packed week but we went to some great places that we have been wanting to go to.

Keep watch for my next posts about the places we went and the pictures that I took :)


Below is a quick look at what we got up to.
