The day before…
Went to work as usual, then went out with some friends to watch the rugby, nothing unusual just a couple drinks but ended up being quite drunk, so much so that when I got my taxi I fell over and scraped my whole leg up; didn’t feel a thing though!
Got home and got into bed for about 2 whole minutes before realising the floor was going to be my friend that night. Slept pretty well even with some strange alcohol fuelled dreams, but ultimately spent the whole night on the floor. As I had work the next day I got up at 8, it took me so long to get ready and I spent about 45 minutes on one slice of toast..which I ultimately threw up; not just once, I also gave it a go at work. Not my best morning it has to be said.
However I coped and made it back home to nap, shower and pack (and of course catch up with friends on the events of the previous night)! Got an Uber to the station, a train to Bristol, a bus to the airport then had enough time to peruse the duty free and grab a cheeky Burger King meal before hopping onto my plane. The flight was only about an hour; I barely watched one episode on Netflix! Managed to navigate Schiphol airport (being slightly too sassy to the passport checker guy..) and got the train then the ferry before walking past my hostel for a couple of minutes just to map it and walk back! I finally made it, about 6 hours door to door which isn't bad at all!
[Side note: I shall never drink before work again, and I shall definitely never drink before travelling, travelling with a hangover is a very bad idea.]
All in all a successful day, I’m just absolutely knackered now, the hostel seems lovely so far, clean and tidy, the room is cosy with 14 of us in, and is like a sauna but ultimately the beds are comfy and everyone seems respectful:)
Very excited to see what tomorrow brings and to be able to see Amsterdam in the daylight!
(Oh and I’ve just remembered that I spent about 5 minutes trying to get into the corridor where my room is because I was unlocking it and pulling it but it was a push. People were watching and no one said anything…that’s how you know it’s time for bed!)
