Part 2 of 2 | City Hopping 

In the early hours of the 12th of March, Myself and Patrick made our way toward Amsterdam Centraal where we would catch my first intercity train (ever) to Brussels. 

It wasn't quite as mindblowing as I expected it to be but it was fun and now I see the appeal of interrailing. The distance itself from the two stations I believe is about 210km and we got there in about an hour and thirty minutes. That's amazing, I swear I've been on a bus from Howth to the City Centre for longer than that.

Amsterdamn | March 2018

I think I've just gotten back from my most favourite trip yet. 

I am the luckiest person in the world wherein not only do I have the opportunity to travel pretty much wherever my budget allows me, but I also get to do it with my best friend. 

On the 10th of March, I was fortunate enough to fly off to Amsterdam with Patrick. Before I begin I'll say that if he could change anything about me, I would have to guess and say that it might be my obsession with boundless 'things-to-go-see' lists. So, be wary of how many times I'm going to say 'visit' and the amount of photos I'll put up, although I'll sure try to minimise them. 

Zaanse Schans 

Before we left, I had a look through getyourguide.com. This website offers a tonne of different activities and excursions to book and do in countries all around the world. Myself and Patrick had been to Amsterdam before, so naturally we both had ticked off all the top things to do and see while you're there. Patrick likes to flatter me and say that I'm his only opportunity to go and see things that otherwise, he would never think of visiting. 

Everyone knows of Zaanse Schans, you've seen it but never known where it was. And so when I saw that this website offered a day-trip to it, I bought tickets for us the day after checking with him to see if he was interested.
