Amsterdam Day Trip
We went to Amsterdam for the day! Yes, it was a long day, but a great day out. A few facts:
We flew out at 6:40am (landing 9am) and our return flight was at 9pm (we obviously had to the at the airport for 7pm) - this meant we had approximately 10 hours to enjoy the city
We went with EasyJet, for less than £100 a person
We got a train into the centre / back to the airport, and then walked everywhere
We wandered around enjoying the architecture, visited Anne Frank’s house (very interesting/also sad obviously), visited a Dutch pancake house, enjoyed a canal boat cruise, and even had a peak at the red light district
I feel we saw all the things I wanted to see; my step-daughter in particular loved it and would like to go back and explore further. We all agreed it was worth it for a fun day out.
