Kenya Trip

Welcome everyone to the first official travel post!

So after travelling for 10 hours and getting into Amsterdam with only 1 hour of sleep I’d arrived.  Had everything planned out to hop on a train and get to my hotel in the heart of Amsterdam in time to watc the Netherlands World Cup Game.

So I go and purchase a ticket, get on a train and 15 minutes in (the train ride is supposed to only be 10 minutes) I’m getting a bad feeling.  It seems that I got on a train in the wrong direction (in the end about 40 minutes out of the city as the distance between stops is very long)… Yes I’m blonde!  So with a bit of help from the train attendant, the fellow passengers around me, a new ticket, a long ride out into the middle of the countryside and a bit of embarrassment… I finally made it into Amsterdam.  The good news… I saw my first windmills!

The only problem is that being that late I only caught the last 15 minutes of the Netherlands game…  It’s lucky that was the most exciting part of the game.  I will be purchasing a Netherlands jersey for the game on Saturday so I truly fit in! Yaaaa, bright orange!

Today it’s off to the first day of sightseeing… just have to wait until the city gets up (we were wide awake at 5:30 this morning which as many of you know is not normal for me :))

The next post will have pictures… I promise!

Cheers,

Travis
