I made it! The flight over was pretty gruelling - 3 stops (singapore, Abu Dhabi and Munich) , but I survived. It was very emotional leaving, and for most of the flight I was second guessing myself, but once the plane was flying into germany and I saw the beautiful rolling misty hills I was reminded of how amazing this is going to be!
I got a fair bit of sleep on the way over and haven't had much jetlag which is brilliant. The first day I was a bit dazed and I absolutely hated Amsterdam at first. The first bit of the city you see as you come off the train is like venice meets the gold coast - tacky and full of idiot tourists! But I saw it in a new light yesterday after exploring the other areas.There are so many awesome shops and it's so pretty outside of the tourist bits. There's also dogs and cats everywhere.. In shops, on trains, at the airport... I love it!
I am going to go to the Van Gogh museum, Vondelpark and the Heineken experience today which should be fun. Hopefully going on a day trip to Zaanse Schace (??) to see cheese, clogs and windmills tomorrow.

I'd like to point out Tracey said she saw an awesome beagle. Pretty sure that it would have been that "other light" she was talking about
That was me btw

Turns out about 1/3 of this was a lie - didn't go to the Van gogh museum cause of too many tourists and the heine experience was closed for renovations!
I don't like being lied to in blog
