(And to all how say "You'd have better traveled by train, because it's cheaper, more economic and things like that" SHUT UP! :p I just couldn't be bother to travel 9 to 10 Hours, I bought we time with flying. And by the way flying is great! :D Just love it when the plane takes off)
So there I was at the central station, with no accommodation and no clue what to do :)
Let the adventure begin :)
So I was looking for a hostel and I spare you with the boring details, but I often got to hear "THERE ARE NO FREE BEDS"!
Often the hostels or hostel agencies couldn't even say me where I could ask too. So after like 2 hours walking and exploring, I surfed in the i-net and found a bed for a night. So I put my backpack there and immediately went to get a bed for the next nights. I didn't want to do that again tomorrow.
I found a the "flying Pig" hostel, which was great. Very nice atmosphere, relaxed people, it's narrow and friendly. Easy to get in touch with other travellers.
There were a lot of Australian people, some of them told me that they will join the pub crawling. My first thought was, I'd like to join too, but I can't get drunk the first night in Amsterdam.
I'd spend all my money and won't be able to get up early to explore the city. After a walk in the Vondelpark, I thought why shouldn't I join them? There's no one telling me what to do and I wanted to get in touch with other people! And it was a unique possibility!
So of course I joined the pub crawling! :D
And for a Tuesday there were heaps of other travellers! I guess around 80 people. And later on also other people having fun in the different clubs. So I met a lot of people from countries like New Zealand, Brazil, Australia, Austria, Scotland and even Russia. :)
Hopping from pub to pub was great, because if you get bored, your group will soon go on... But later in night, we didn't realized that our group already went on. So we found your self with the other part of the pub crawling team, the orange team. Look for others went outside and decide to just stay at this pub, when we went in again, we got another round of free drinks :D
Get a impressions here:
And you'd like a sneak peek of the party in Amsterdam? There you go:
When I finally arrived in my bed (of course I got lost), at 4am. I sat there in my underwear and checked the pictures I had taken till then, when 4 girls came in the room. Well that was a good surprise :) It turned out that I stayed in a room only with girls :D
So first night was awesome, and heeeeaps of fun :)
