Day 1: let the fun begin

We made it! Oh I hate those long flights but Colin was just PERFECT! Okay so we arrived to a city that is cold and rainy. Not exactly how I wanted the weather to be especially if you are so tired. We put our stuff away and out we went . . . just planned on walking around for a few hours. We managed to pop into a few churches and had pizza for lunch. I am trying to map out the week. There is a public computer right outside our room but not sure how much I will use it . . .

Now I keep everything when it comes to places I might want to travel. When this adventure started looking like it was going to happen then I pulled out all my old travel stuff. I knew where the first stop had to be. Can you guess where we might be? A little hint: my second favorite flower is in abundance in this country . . . and a young girl wrote a very touching journal which in this city . . . okay so that was easy!

So we have arrived for the first leg of our trip . . . let's just hope it meets all the hype that I have it built up to be . . .

So back to my travel stuff . . . back in April 2001 (I have the email as proof) I emailed the exact same place we are spending the next few days . . . and the room is 50 euro cheaper in 2009 than in 2001. I did not realize it until after I had already confirmed this place after the suggestion from Tom who stayed there a few years back. Now, isn't that crazy?

Figure it out yet?


So for the next few days we are here in Amsterdam at Maes B&B.
