Amsterdamarama

Whoa, what a super fantastic time was had in the Dam! This was Tom and I's second trip to the city (the first of which was on a ferry ride over where we only had a couple of hours, so i s'pose that doesn't really count.). We stayed in the Tulip Inn, which has a sure thumbs up from me, if you're just looking for somewhere to stay with no fuss and no quibbles! The highlights of the trip for me were Walibi World theme park (don't be put off by the name! This had some of the best rollercoasters that I've ever been on.), the terrifying Amsterdam Dungeon and the magnificent Royal Artis Zoowhich has a HUGE variety of animals. I would definitely recommend a day trip there! 


P.S. I do apologise profusely for the copious amount of photos in this post, but Amsterdam is ever so pretty!






























The number one go-to place for me was the fabulous Cat Cabinet, a museum dedicated to my favourite feline friends (as you might of guessed already, I do have a slight obsession with cats!). The entire museum is festooned with vintage posters, artwork, ornaments and paintings dedicated to the humble cat. Plus a delightfully kitsch gift shop waiting at the end. Well worth the navigating around Amsterdam to find it!



A lil bit o' shenanigans were had at Madame Tussauds too. See for yourself! My faves are Gandhi and Einstein, the pair are très photogenic!
