Travel updates - Amsterdam

Hello all :-)
I have decided that I will start updating you all through  this blog again as it makes it nice and easy and is also a nice recount to look back at.
We are currently at Amsterdam airport, our flight leaves at 7.10pm for Barcelona. We have had a lovely time in Amsterdam. We stayed three nights at the Amsterdam Forest Hotel in Amsterveen. About 30 minutes from the city via bus. We thought we got a pretty good deal staying just outside of the city as we were able to see the normal daily lives of the people here as well as the tourist centre in the city. Amsterveen was absolutely beautiful, quiet and serene. With small canals weaving their way through the roads. Everyone rides bikes here. There are bike paths that are especially for them, so the roads are actually very quiet, apart from buses. No one wears helmets either which is funny because there are bikes everywhere with children hanging off them. Parents with younger children even have long bikes with carriages at the front and the children sit inside them.
We spent the day with my friend Sarita who was coincidentally in Amsterdam for the beginning of her Europe trip. We went on a canal tour which was very nice and informative about Amsterdam's history.

Our week in the campervan in Ireland was also wonderful. I would have to say that the Irish people were the most friendliest, accommodating people that we have come across whilst travelling. We spent most of our time driving and exploring the Ring of Kerry and the Killarney National Park. I will put some photo's on later.
We are staying in a private Airbnb room in Barcelona for the next three nights. Fingers crossed it's an okay place!
Will update you all again soon xxxx

Chiang Mai

We absolutely love Chiang Mai! What a relief after crazy Bangkok. The people here are so friendly and laid back. Apart from having to sleep on a bed as hard as a rock, and thank goodness for travel mosquito nets, everything is going well! :-) Off to explore! Grace xxx
