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

Out of reception

Hello all :-) Just a post to let you know we may be out of reception the next few days. We are heading to an island called Koh Ta Kiev . We are pretty sure they don't have reception or Internet. We think we will be staying at accommodation called Crusoe Island.So, if contact is needed urgently, look them up (crusoeisland.asia) and they have a couple of numbers and email available. Love to you all xxx The picture below is one of the lady's that walk around the beach with fruit on their heads. They cut it up and put it in a little bag with a skewer for you :-) mmmmmm

Calungute, Goa

We are feeling much better about life in India this week. One night at Vailannkani Guest House turned into six nights. The cleanliness and comfort was just what we needed. This week has consisted mainly of walking the markets, eating, playing cards on the beach, eating some more and exercising. Even though it is the monsoon season here it really doesn't rain that often. A dark, gloomy cloud will once or twice bucket down for five minutes and then it will be over. We have decided to venture to North India for a week and have booked flights for tomorrow to Jaipur in Rajasthan, from there we will go to Udaipur and on the 2nd of September we fly to Kerala. We hope all is well with everyone back home. Love and miss you all. xxx G & T Baga Beach Our lady of Piety Chapel Local fruit.veg shop - 90p/$1.70 for cabbage, capsicum, 7 bananas and 5 tomatoes Walking from Calangute Beach to Baga Beach Baga Beach Local restaurants on the beac...
