Holland Part II (2014)

Sunday 15 May 2016

Amsterdam (7th Oct.) We were very tourist like this day, we visited different places and it was pretty fun. The first place we visited was a science museum 'Nenno; Science Museum. It was frickin' insane, the peep show was hilarious' yes we saw a peep show in the museum. Me and my friend Shannon clearly found it hilarious, the place was huge and it was general all round blast. Later we then visited an art museum, which all honestly I kind of found a little boring, we were walking around a lot, but I did enjoy the colossal pirate shit and of course the huge historic library, which with all honesty gave me chills. That day I spent more time with Dutch people, who I swear are all naturally lovely. I was kind of a bad mood for a little while, mainly because I was hungry (who can blame a girl?) so when we were allowed off the reigns (as such) we ventured to McDonalds and well problem was averted. The spent a lot of my time at Holland with Shannon, and there is two songs we listened to most of the time which now I always think back to Holland 1) The 1975 - Chocolate 2) The Cab - Angel with a shotgun. I bought some souveniers; a little pair of blue clogs and a 'I <3 Amsterdam' t-shirt which funnily enough I am currently wearing. It was such a good day.
The fourth day in Holland (8th Oct.) this day was the day I remember the most. 'First time on a boat, it was amazing. So magical, sailing the water, ships like the ones pirates use, it was amazing. I felt alive as I watched the captivating sites.' Admittedly what I didn't write in my diary is how lonely I felt, sitting staring out of a window whilst most people were gathered around a man playing guitar whilst students from my college performed, it was a friendly atmosphere it was enjoyable to listen to. I kind of have a habit of sitting myself out of things, I don't know why. Anyways, the boat took us to a little island thing, where I ended up buy 16 euros worth of godly chocolate. I went on my first steam where we were served cute little crepes, more conversation flowed and it was a lot of fun. We later got free time, where I ended up buying my next diary, it is beautiful and I still have it. It is full but I kept it. I also bought some gifts for the family, I hate being selfish. I ranted in my diary I won't say what because it's rude and mean, even though I am laughing at it a lot now.
The last day (9th Oct.)  it was a weird day for me. My emotions were all over the place. I missed my best friend, I wanted to be alone, I don't know what was wrong with me. Something did make me smile though 'Some random girl just came up to me show me her phone and asked if it were my Instagram on her screen and she told me she was stalking me' it was funny, and we still follow each other and stuff to this day. We did a whole ceremony thing and it was lovely, and kind of weird saying goodbye.
Home (10th Oct.) We woke up early, before heading to the airport we had breakfast which was cake or very like cake. It was lovely all the same.  We wandered around the airport once checking in, had another McDonalds (cheeky) and then it was the plane ride. I was ready to go home to be honest, it felt like an overwhelming week. Once we landed we were allowed to leave, my mother came to meet me and surprised me with my sister and niece, I cried there and then. My niece was so excited to see me. It was just really nice after a week of being away. We had a Starbucks before leaving, and I managed to whole week up until this point without any embarrassing moments, until one of the teacher's Flynn was walking by and said farewells etc. and my sister shouted 'Bye sexy' after him I was super embarrassed, to this day I pray he didn't hear it.
