Just like Amsterdam it was cold and wet when I packed up to leave the hostel I was in and head across to the same one as D. The problem was only compounded after I got lost yet again trying to find the place. I really think I should have invested in a local sim card for my phone so I can use the built in GPS on my iPhone […]

From Amsterdam to Berlin
My final day in another city and Amsterdam must have realised, as it turned on the sun for a change.

I knew I couldn’t have my couch so I improvised and settled on my dorm bed. Over the next 3-4 hours I caught up on the happenings of the internet while […]
