On Saturday night, we headed out from the hostel back into the centre, and just ended up having a wander around, taking in the atmosphere in the quartier rouge at night and had a few drinks in a bar.

Sunday, we managed to somehow get the hostel breakfast in time, and then headed out to the streets again.

It pretty much snowed all day Sunday, which was quite nice to be honest. Amsterdam is definately a really nice city, but I would need more then a weekend to really discover it. And you would probably be better off with a smaller group as its so hard to keep everybody moving in one direction.

On Saturday we actually visited Anne Frank's house, despite waiting in line for 30minutes and the 9euro fee, it was actually really good. It was a nice amount of time for the tour, and was easy to follow. Despite the topic being harrowing, it was actually very enjoyable.

I got more use out of my lens on Sunday too, and these are my favourite types of pictures to capture, just faces and expressions. Especially Clem's because she is so photogenic!

We left for Amsterdam Friday night at 11pm. After being on a couple of these trips now we were far more prepared with pillows and blankets, so surprizingly we got a bit of sleep.

We arrived to the hostel, which was 10minutes tram from the centre, but it was really big and nice. 6 of us girls shared a room, so we got changed and ready for day and headed out to bare the cold and snow. It seemed actually colder then in Strasbourg which is hard to imagine.

We got breakfast in a nice restaurant and had a good wander around the streets and canals.

It was really nice and bright so perfect for taking photos.

We searched for the red light district for ages... and then when we finally found it, it was so scary!!

I didn't really know what to expect... but I never imagined that the girls in the windows would be at like eye-level on tiny narrow little lanes! It was so personal! It was horrible when you caught one of their eyes like... uggghh. Anyway that was interesting!

Here are some pictures of objects and such that I took, my new lens turned out a hit!d It is perfect for travel etc..
