Amsterdam

I really want to go.
Like now.
Or at least before uni.
Although George might just have invited me to Turkey with his family. And I would be there for my birthday. Waaaaaaargh that sounds scarily awesome.
But anyway.
Amsterdam.

After I posted that video yesterday, I spent most of the day with Amsterdam in my mind. I think watching it rekindled the desire to visit that began when I was reading The Fault in Our Stars. I have to admit, before I read The Fault in Our Stars, I never really thought of Amsterdam as beautiful. It's only connotations for me were war. But since I read the book, whenever Amsterdam is mentioned a flood of beautiful scenes fills my mind and it all just makes me absolutely desperate to be there, seeing it all for real.
What isn't helping is the knowledge that I just got paid for working as the Christmas temp in Clintons, so I have about enough money to fly to Amsterdam and back with another person, as long as its just hand luggage only. Save up a bit more and I'll have enough for a hotel.
And this is all torturing me because I know I still probably won't get there any time soon.

Mum pointed out that I've never really researched Amsterdam, but I actually already have a few ideas of what I could do there:
I would absolutely love to visit The Ann Frank Museum, especially as I'd have read the book by then.
The Fault in our Stars pilgrimage style thing because that book is genuinely brilliant and I want to see the places that inspired John Green.

I keep having moments like this, when I suddenly really just want to visit places. I want to go somewhere and spend a day getting lost in a beautiful city with someone I care about, who will share the adventure with me. I've been lost in Venice before, which I loved, although it wasn't so great when it started to get dark and we were still in the creepy back alleys.

I might just create a list of all the places I want to go, or at least add them to my Bucket List. I might put that up here one day actually.

Anyway.
Amsterdam rant over.
Off to do revision because Will cancelled our coffee :/

P.s. Please do comment if you have any ideas where else I could go in Amsterdam or any other countries/places which are amazing to visit!
