Days 4&5: Brussels

After a hectic few days my legs are starting to throb! Wandered around this city for a bit chilling at lots of little cafés and checking out the sweet neo-gothic buildings.

Heading to Paris tomorrow for three days (at least) and more partying no doubt!

The Atomium, I love this thing for some reason

Day 3: Netherlands & Amsterdam

Windmills & lush countryside!
Heavy last night of drinking, partying and the Red Light District ?

Day 2: Amsterdam

Hot day again!

Took a random bus in the morning to the city outskirts and had a slow wander by the canals back to town, stopping at nice lil cafés on the way.

Tried a lil smoke and spent a fun hour in the Nemo science museum before heading to Bulldog café for a few space cakes.

These kicked in an hour later and about wiped me out for the day ?

Day 1: Amsterdam

The train took about 6 hours end-to-end from Nottingham to Amsterdam, so much more comfortable and chill than a cheap flight!

The hostel, St. Christopher’s at the Winston was about a 10 min walk from the station and its really cool–good bar, nice food and the roomies seem lovely so far.

Had a wander about, the cyclists here are fearless compared to the UK and there are so many of them everywhere 😮

Not much of the day left so I’m taking a canal cruise this evening, the weather is amazing!

Here we go

High-level travel destinations for later this year

When I leave E.ON at the end of June, I’m hoping to go travelling for three or four months before I find myself a new job. Here’s the working list of places I want to visit.

I’m not gonna have a fixed plan I’ll stick to, the general idea is to start in France and end in Japan, everywhere in between will be variable.

  1. Eurostar to France Amsterdam
  2. Then to France
  3. Southern Spain to get some sun for a bit
  4. Italy, definitely want to see Rome
  5. Over to Croatia (by boat if I can)
  6. Austria
  7. Hungary
  8. Greece
  9. Skip over to Nepal
  10. Thailand
  11. Vietnam
  12. Malaysia
  13. Singapore
  14. Phillipines
  15. South Korea
  16. Finally, Japan!
