Arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands
We got to Amsterdam’s Central Station after noon local time, 6 A.M. there. Took a couple hours taking the long walk to Vondel Park, next to which our hostel sits.
We checked in a day late - because of a transit strike in Brussels that delayed us - so the fine folks at Hotel Annemarie charged us for that night anyway, even though we called once we found out we couldn’t make it.
I could have argued with the manager for a year - but the Blanda boys seemed eager to get done. We are all a bit tired, a bit hungry, a bit eager to move on.
Anyway, I can’t fathom why we found some less than savory reviews for Hotel Annemarie.
Despite what some say, this one-star hotel does have bathrooms and the room we’re in is actually quite spacious, though small, single bunk beds. 16 Euros though ($30 USD)
And maybe even our front desk friend will make up for it. …Maybe.
Now we’re going to grab some food. The Blanda boys - the Marys they are - want to find a laundromat, something about wanting clean underwear.
Details, updates, lessons advice to come.
Good luck guys!…i think you gonna need.
