Amsterdam | Travel

Posted on the 19 August 2015 by Gracem16 @TSITR_Gracie
Hey guys,
So a while ago- April now! Me and my boyfriend Adam went on our first holiday together! We have now been together nearly four months, and I can say it's been a brilliant time.
I wanted to mention Amsterdam for a few reasons:
1.) I love to travel and we are going on our second holiday in September! So excited!
2.) It's such a great place, everyone is so friendly and kind.
3.) You can get some great offers if you book either really early or last minute (which is what we did)
4.) It's known for 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green which is such a good book if you haven't read it! I'm reviewing a John Green book next up too! Can you guess which one it is?

So here are some photos of our lovely trip!

We went to the Zoo on our second to last day!


The Science Museum in Amsterdam 


Our favorite bridge- aptly named Skinny Bridge!


Bikes


The Central Station- Remarkable building


Adam had to help me up! 

So some tips before you jet off to Amsterdam? 1.) Do get an IAmsterdam card- it will save you so much money and give you free entry to things! Well worth it.  2.) Do not get a taxi anywhere- they are extortionately priced and you are ten times better off getting the metro! 3.) Pack lightly- The pleasure of Amsterdam is that so much can be done in four days. This was the time we went and it was just right! 4.) Try Pasta! Pasta! The best food place in Amsterdam. But don't feel afraid to snack out on a Maccie D's before you leave! Comfort food is the best food.  5.) We took two hundred euros and it was just the right amount for four days based on our own experience.  6.) Enjoy it! It's a fantastic city.  
Love,
Gracie xxx
