Hotel Brian Amsterdam

Whats up, Still writting from the beautiful Paris. As i last mentioned we were in Cologne, Germany. If any of you are wondering were Cologne came from now you now. Its pretty obvious but its spelt Koln in German so most people didnt know that including myself. So Amsterdam is the title of this entry. I dont even know where to start. To begin, i am shocked a place like this even exists. We got off the train and i dint know what to expect. Ive heard soo many stories about this place. Examples: ...

Hey Everyone! For those of you who are interested, I have tales from Amsterdam to tell. This weekend, Larissa, a friend of ours named Karen, and I took a short trip to the capital of Holland. We left on Thursday night/Friday morning at 12am. We slept on the train and arrived well rested in Amsterdam at 9:00am. To anyone who ever plans on sleeping on a train in the future, I recommend first class. It's only a little more expensive and well worth the extra space. So it was raining in A-dam when...

From Koln, we took the 2 1/2 train ride on the InterCityExpress to Amsterdam Centraal station. Our hotel, named Hotel Brian (not a coincidence, once I saw the name I knew we had to stay here!) was located close to the station and overlooked the Singel canal. Check-in to this hotel was a very interesting experience to say the least. Seeing as I had been to Amsterdam before, I kind of had an idea of what to expect here (albeit a somewhat innocent one as i was here for a school trip). We could s...

Amsterdam is a city that is easily walkable, and is best seen walking through the endless canals. We arrived when it was overcast and that soon turned to rain, and not just rain but a downpour, and hampered most of our plans. After we arrived we took the train from Schipol Airport to Amsterdam Central Station about a 15 minute trip. It cost a little bit more than 3 euro. We than walked from the station to our hostel the Brian Hotel, it was out of the party district which was nice and it was y...

What a good day! We took a walking tour around Amsterdam today and it was great! It is nice to have someone show you around and tell you about the different things. We saw the Royal Palace and World War II memorial, the smallest house in Amsterdam (only 1.8 meters wide!) which is ironically on the widest canal in Amsterdam! We also saw a lot of canals, coffee shops and the red light district. It was all neat to see. We went to the Anne Frank House tonight and I have never had a museum move me...
