I love amsterdam! It's so pretty and it's weird it's like a city where everyone walks and there's trams and subways, but it has a very small town feel! We slept in this morning just to catch up on some sleep and then headed out to explore. The canals that circle around amsterdam are so pretty , but I was upset they weren't frozen for us to ice skate on...but still pretty!
My dad would be ashamed, but we were not prepared for our day in amsterdam. We headed to the Anne frank house and didn't buy tickets online so the line was crazy long!! So we just took pictures with it :)
(It's the one right above Kody's head)
After that we went to Dam square and took some cool pictures, saw an awesome church and a gladiator ha. Then we walked down where all the flower markets were and it was so pretty! I also found a Burger King....it was delicious and I was hungry. After that we headed for the Van Gogh museum, where we found the famous I amsterdam sign!
And of course a crazy long line to the museum...so we just took pictures in front of it. But then the most exciting thing happened! We found an ice rink by this really cool park for kids! It was so pretty. I ice skated by myself though because Kody didn't want both of us to some how fall down and be really hurt...
So that was a 45 minute adventure. Then we headed to our b&b to get our luggage. The restaurant downstairs wasn't open yet but they let us relax there anyway since it had started to rain and we had no where to go! Then they served us amazing pizza! I highly recommend the la festa b&b to anyone who goes to amsterdam! We then made our way to the train station just to be prepared! And this train station was even crazier than the one in paris, with no departure board. There was just signs outside each platform that changed whenever they want and you just walked around till you saw yours. Which they didn't pop up till about 10 minutes before your train left. Scary, but me and Kody played speed for a good hour to kill time. but then we started a new adventure, our train ride....so for starters this was our room.
Basically our train room had 6 beds and there were only 5 of us so we left one of the middle beds folded down so it like made a couch on one side because you couldn't really sit up on your bed.(the thing that I'm sitting on in the picture). Everyone on the train was young and the three guys in our room were two from Brazil backpacking and another from Philippians also backpacking. We talked for like 1.5 hours and were laughing about stuff and then all fell asleep. I obviously had the most room on my bed :)....Kody not so much
Now this train had multiple stops on the way and we had locked our door. Then we woke up to someone like yanking on the door and it was this like creepy looking old guy who didn't speak English so we had to fold his bed up and give him all the crap. And I just rolled over cause he scared me lol. So then in this tiny room he gets naked and has his junk in kodys face and changes to pajamas and he was just so weird and creepy idk so i couldn't sleep well after that lol. After feeling like this creepy guy was staring at me for 1 hour I finally was able to role over and fall sleep. Our train arrived in Berlin at 4:20am. We wondered around for a good 30 minutes, and finally found a taxi. We took the taxi to our hotel and of course our rooms not ready at 5:30 in the morning so they let us chill in the lobby. Then we made ourselves at home in the middle of the lobby and I don't think they liked that. So the maid made us little beds in the hot tub room down stairs so we could nap untilt he first room was available...so this currently is us...
Nighty night!
