Amsterdam in 2 weeks time.
In two weeks time I’ll be getting my stuff packed for a 3 day mini vacation to Amsterdam. There I’ll be meeting up with 7 others, including 3 of my good friends.
Simon, from Germany, will be bringing his girlfriend and one of her friends. Simon lived with me in New Zealand for a year when we were in high school, and we had heaps of really fun times. I visited him in Germany for a month in 2005, and that was the last time we saw each other.
John, I went to school with in Havelock North and he has been one of the few that I’ve kept in touch with. He’s been working around the world in London and now Switzerland, and we are the instigators of this trip. Last time I saw him was in New Zealand before I moved to Ireland! John has a friend called Sam coming as well.
Thomas, from Sweden, I met in New Zealand in 2009 and we became really good friends. We travelled together from Auckland to London Heathrow on my way to Ireland and toured NZ for a week before which was awesome fun. He’s bringing his flatmate, Lars, who I met when I visited Stockholm in 2009.
I’m really excited to see everyone again and to meet the new faces.
We’ve booked accomodation in the heart of the red light district, a 2 storey apartment building with 4 beds per floor I believe. The photos and reviews are excellent, and it’s fairly cheap too!
I’m going to make a video of the trip, as this knocks off one of my 12 month goals (see 2 more countries).
2 weeks to go!
