We landed in Amsterdam Friday afternoon, 10/28, after an amazing view of the Alps on our flight there! There was a shuttlebus to our hotel, which was great and a nice change from our usual hostels. We booked this trip pretty late so we couldn't find any hostels but the hotel wasn't much more expensive and it had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on! The only pain was that to get into the city we had to take a shuttle back to the airport then a train into A...

Hello! This week has been very busy so I haven't been able to blog about my travel week yet! But it was AMAZING and I had such a great time! However, I did put up pictures from each city we visited so take a look at them and I will blog early next week! I leave this evening for Salzburg, Austria for the weekend which I am SO excited about! We're going to do The Sound of Music tour which is my dream come true... I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and videos of...

There was a lounge just to hang out and we met a lot of people there! We had to share a big room with strangers, but we made f...

Monday night we left Paris for Madrid, Spain! We landed and took the Metro to our hostel which was a great location on the major road in Madrid- Gran Via- and right next to the Metro stop! The hostel was a little bizarre- it was basically in an apartment building and we had a a big room we had to share with other people. But we were only there to sleep, so it was fine! We got settled and went to bed! We woke up Tuesday morning and got coffee at the Starbucks righ...
