Honestly, I hate being back in Iceland. I wanted to do a quick "thoughts from Holland" blog. I even have photos. I went to a few cities in the Netherlands those 6 days I were there (the first two I was working).
Amstersterdam was lovely, Hoofddorp was lovely, Delft was lovely, Utrecht was lovely. The country is so welcoming, I have never felt that way when visiting a country before. The people there were awesome, the atmosphere is something I wish we had here in Iceland, and in fact, everywhere. But it isn't like every other country, it's beautiful, it's open and it's free.
On my first day (after all the trouble I went through with the au-pair thingie) I went to Amsterdam. I just thought that I couldn't be in this country and not go there. I literally walked for hours, just along the canals, Red Light District, Dam, all the "typical" places. I could do that for hours. Then I went with a friend of mine (who I was seeing for the first time, haha)... another au pair to get some coffee and chat. It was very nice.
People also ride their bikes everywhere. Literally. You're in the way if you're walking and if you're on car.
I thought the people were generally nice (except for that one lady in the train).
Other nice cities were Delft (the one I stayed in/slept in mostly):
and Utrecht, with it's deep canals and beautiful arcitecture
Have a nice weekend, girls.
