Day 2

Aim: get from Ipswich to Amsterdam


Free Breakfast (worth 13pounds)- all you can eat bacon and fruit and croissants and waffles- so worth it- even if it meant getting up at 5:45am for it

So we were waiting out in the rain at 6:30 in the morning after breakfast, rushing to get to the station and what not, and we found some guy, who at midnight had gone into the back of a van, disheveled. He had been locked in and fell asleep. Classic.

Taxi to station- train to Harwich
Get on a boat. Boat travels to Holland- we sleep in lovely little cabin, and go around boat- the quiz machine did not pay out despite our immense general knowledge..grrr... etc.

Train from Hook of Holland to Amsterdam via Rotterdam-

trains here are amazing- they don't break down, are doubled deckered and run like clockwork. The train conductor was jokes- he basically mocked us for being English (in a nice way).Joel almost knocked a lady out with his beast of a backpack. We got here (to the hostel)shattered. Went out to some fast food place.

Also- we have Germans in our dorm- GERMANS!!!!! (as any MUN-ers will remember)

Song for the day- Bright Eyes- Another Travelin' Song

Awesome. Night night. I'm tired
