Amsterdam

I loved Amsterdam. The red light district and the coffee shops what more could you want :) Actually when I arrived I went straight from the airport to church so I started off on the right foot. It wasn’t that intentional though but the timing just worked out perfectly. On a side note C3 Amsterdam is a great church well worth checking out if you’re in the area. The first thing that struck me was that the Dutch are alot more serious about cycling than the Danish. The Danish cycle but it’s more of a fashion accessory in most cases. While the Dutch they cycle and they don’t care one bit how crap there bike is as long as it get you there. Definitely the biking capital of the world. Sorry Copenhagen.

This is proof

Again for the 3rd time I caught up with Miriam, one of my friends from Copenhagen. Felt like we were stalking each other around Europe a bit. So one of the nights I met up with her and Kay and had dinner and checked out Harlem, which is about 20 mins outside of Amsterdam. What I like the most about the city was the canals and the look and feel was just incredible. It did help that the weather was really good. So I completely feel in love with Amsterdam definitely another city I could live in. (Feels like I’m scouting places where I can live but don’t worry Sydney is top of the list for the moment)

Amsterdam through a bike's eyes

So that was a quick snapshot of my trip over the summer. I also went to see my family in England which was really nice to see some of my family. As it’s been nearly 8 months since I saw anyone from my family. Not long now though. So now it is back to Copenhagen 2nd Semester can’t wait.
