This weekends blog features 2 new faces (although not new to you all on Facebook) Introducing Ben & Callum!
The journey to Dam this morning was slightly longer than anticipated due to our good friend Mother Nature who decided to leave a thick layer of fog at Schiphol Airport. This meant being sat on the runway at BHX for over an hour until it was safe to fly; but better to be safe than sorry! If you’ve never been to Schiphol before, be prepared for the longest walk of your life to actually get out the airport!
Once safely in Amsterdam City Centre we set off exploring and crammed in all the usual tourist spots like Anne Frank Huis, Rembrandtplein square, Dam square, Bejinhof Park and of course the cheese museum. Dressing up in clogs and patterned windmill tops whilst munching your way through loads of cheese; what more could you want!
We decided to try local Dutch waffles for a cheeky afternoon snack. Although cheese, bacon, onion and raspberry sauce may sound odd on paper, it’s an actual taste sensation. We all really enjoyed our pancakes and they certainly filled a little hole.
This evening we decided to do a pizza cruise. Myself and Callum have done this before and loved it (because of the unlimited wine) so dragged momma and Ben along this time. It’s great value so is definitely one to consider if ever you come – we booked ours through Expedia and it includes a pizza, unlimited beer/wine/soft, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and a 90 min boat cruise. We finished off today with a stroll around the Red Light District and introducing momma to her first sex shop, what an absolute treat 🤣 the weight of some if the items in there would be over your hand luggage allowance, so just bear that in mind!
