It's 3am in the morning and we're still half-asleep but it doesn't mean that we're too half-asleep to have a bowl of porridge (of course) to get us going. We're not running late but we get our luggages in a hurry anyway, we don't want things to go bad.
Driving through Warsaw in the middle of the night feels rather special, even though I despise this city. (kind of harsh for me to say that, I know) We're wondering why this city has a weird atmosphere going on and we agree that's probably because so many people died there during the war. Then we agree that it's probably too early for us to think about those things so we keep silence till we arrive at the station.
It's very warm considering it's only 4am. We're getting more and more excited, we're doing to Amsterdam after all! We arrive at the station, then we take the train to the airport and in no time we're seated in the plane. The flight is fine and as soon as we're above the Netherlands we see all those beautiful fields. It's green everywhere and we're wondering how we'll feel about this country. Neither of us have ever been to Holland.
We land at Eindhoven's airport and it gets to us. The temperature I mean. Considering it was around 25 degrees in Warsaw (in the middle of the night let me add!) - having to get used to 1 degree is a struggle.
I mean, we knew from the beginning that something would go wrong - we've forgotten half of the things that we wanted to take with us. It hasn't even been three weeks till our trip to Denmark so we were still kind of mellow I guess. But hey, wouldn't it be boring if everything always went great? I don't think so.
We have our coffee while waiting for the bus to Amsterdam. The wind blows strongly but we're staying positive. We're looking forward to seeing all those beautiful canals and buildings in one of the most beautiful cities in the whole world.
That's the first building that catches our eyes - Amsterdam Central Station. I find it pretty impressive if you ask me. The next ten hours are so exhausting that I won't even write about them. By the end of the day we're not only half-asleep but also half-alive so as soon as we have a chance to cover ourselves with blankets and fall asleep, we do.
We spend a week in Amsterdam so we really do get to know the city. After three days we almost feel like locals, avoiding crowded touristy places.
The quaint narrow streets take my breath away and make me daydream about my future life. Oh, how I would love to live in one of those tenement houses...
Maybe that's a good thing that I can't afford a flat like that yet - I would have difficulties choosing one.
Being able to see the spring approaching to the city is great. The weather sucks anyway, considering we haven't taken our coats with us so we freeze to death everytime we leave the flat. (the blame is on us though)
Our first two days aren't interesting at all, we just wander around to get used to everything so that we can actually feel the vibes of Amsterdam.
