Me in AmsterdamThis morning at 10am we flew from Budapest to Eindhoven, Netherlands. I pretty much just fell asleep right after the plane took off and woke up in Eindhoven. I was pretty tired. Last night someone ended up convincing me to go to a bar instead of going to bed early. Oh well, it was a lot of fun and I’m glad I went but I really need to start getting a little more consistent sleep. This is my six weekend in a row of traveling and almost every one of these weekends I have pulled at least one almost all-nighter with less than four hours of sleep.
When we got into Eindhoven we immediately got on the AirExpress bus to Amsterdam (about 40 Euros for round trip). This was around a two hour ride. I sleep a little more during this ride.
When we first got into Amsterdam (around 3 or so) we were all very hungry so we stopped at McDonald’s. Not my choice but it seems that people outside America aren’t as disgusted with American fast food as us Americans are. McDonald’s is pretty interesting in other countries though...
Ya, I also have no idea what a “bitterballen” is...google translate says they are “croquette balls” and the dictionary says that croquette is like mashed potatoes and minced meat and stuff....interesting!
After grabbing some food we headed to the hostel. It was called the Bostel Amsterdamse Bos Youth Hostel. It was about 30 minutes outside of Amsterdam. It was hard to find a place that we could get a reservation for five only a couple of days beforehand. We stayed in a bungalow...more about this later!
We pretty much just dropped our stuff off at the hostel and then headed back downtown. We grabbed some food at this really cheap pasta place. It’s called Spagi in case you go to Amsterdam.
We spent most of the night just walking around looking into stuff to do the next day and checking out some shops and stuff in town.
We headed back to the hostel pretty early to get a good night of sleep because we all were tired.
