Niklas and I had been talking about going to Amsterdam for awhile (I really wanted to go because it's SO close to us!) We were going to go in the fall, but as is life, time just slipped away. I decided for Christmas to book, as a surprise, two nights stay in Amsterdam! It was the perfect opportunity for us seeing as we were both off of school. We really lucked out with everything! The weather could have been better, but we certainly don't have "Ontario" weather, so we were actually lucky. When we got there we immediately hopped on the tram that was a 5 min walk from our hotel and started walking the streets. We didn't stay exactly in the city but we were only about a 15-20 min tram ride away, which looking back now was actually a really good plan. The city is extremely congested and most people get around with bikes so there are literally thousands of people riding bikes around, not ideal for driving. We stayed at the Fashion Hotel, which was nice. Being in Amsterdam is honestly one of those things you just need to experience to appreciate. The faint smell of weed as you walk down the streets, the red lights glowing around every corner, the bridges and canals winding all around... it was certainly a really great experience. Would I go back? Ya for sure! Would be nice to go in warmer weather. I feel like we really only touched the surface of the greatness Amsterdam has to offer!
