AMSTERDAM

 

This weekend I took my first ever trip to Amsterdam. I have been all over the world but have never taken the 45 minute flight to the Dutch Capital (I guess previously it never really appealed to me). I traveled for a friends hen, so had limited time to explore the city. Aside from the obvious that Amsterdam has to offer, I found that once we traveled off the beaten track, and dodged the bike riders, we found some hidden gems. Our tour guide informed us that the city is changing, while some of the sex and drugs is slowly being moved out, there has been an influx of young, trendy spots opening up which came as a much welcomed surprise. I really found the city quite beautiful, and I think with all the changes that are happening, in a few years it will be somewhere I will most defiantly return to.
