A Trip To Amsterdam

This might have been the most spontaneous trip we've booked in quite a while and I am saying this knowing full well that we will also head to Paris this month which was nearly as spontaneous, but just not as much.

We've been pondering about going to the Netherlands for quite a while seeing as its super close to where we live and seeing also that a very good friend of ours lives there so just at the beginning of February we thought why not now?

And I am still so happy we for once just did it. We had three beautiful days in the beautiful city of Amsterdam and I don't know why it isn't as hyped as London or Paris. Amsterdam has such a beautiful architecture and everything in me just wants to go there again, now!

Another thing that definitely made us go on such a short notice was the incredibly cheap train tickets we scored as well as the great hostel we found. It has the funny name 'Stay Okay', but we really stayed way better than just okay. They had great rooms for a hostel and offered an even better, already in your room fee included, breakfast that we just loved. So if anyone of you feels like going to Amsterdam, or the Netherlands in general seeing as they are a chain, be sure to check out the Stay Okay Hostels we wholeheartedly recommend them.

Seeing as it was more of a trip to relax and meet our friend Wesley we didn't plan much before going there and in the end we spend most of our time wandering around just taking in a different sight and sometimes stumbling into shops without really buying much, that being said we'll still film a Amsterdam Haul for you guys just because we love the few things we ended up buying! 

Amsterdam is more expensive than Germany, at least Germany where we live, so we also didn't end up going to eat somewhere fancy, but the places we found, I mean when in the Netherlands you have to eat fries, and that our friend showed us were just perfect for the occasion.

Just saying this makes me happy because this trip as short and spontaneous it was ended up being perfect. This might also have to do with how Lyza and I want things to be. On our train ride back to Germany we sat across from a couple and all they talked about was how bad everything was. Why would you do that? Why don't you think about the great things you just experienced?

Of course to each their own, but we've just decided it would be so much nice to actually do what we want to do on our vacation and we want to do what makes us happy. This time around it was lots of talking with a friend we haven't seen in about half a year, do a lot of window shopping and just lots of walking around an inspiring city and this as simple as it was ended up being the perfect trip for us.
