Flew to Amsterdam a few days ago.... for the first time ever.
I am a bit disappointed by our location :( Our hotel was literally at the airport, like inside the freaking airport. I was not impressed. One thing I don't like about this job, is that we fly to all these amazing cities, yet some of them (majority) sucks because of our location.
Needless to say, I didn't go to the Red light district nor really anywhere else for that matter. Taxi's are so expensive, one of the other girls paid 55euros to get back to the hotel. We only receive 70euros for the layover so do the maths. She told me that she ended up spending above the allowance. Not cool.
Anyways, the weather was really nice, cold and rainy :P I LOVE rain, and I love cold weather ever since I moved to Dubai, that is just the reality. Makes me want to be all snuggled up under a duvet with some nice movies to watch and makes me crave cinnamon and sugar pancakes with some hot chocolate. :) sounds like a perfect day for me.
Maybe next time I will go into the city, when I get an Amsterdam flight again. I did, however buy something very traditional - Caramel filled waffles (see pic below)
Planning on taking it home when I fly to Johannesburg on Friday morning :) another excitement for me! The more I go home, the more I feel the need to go home. As much as this job is fabulous and the money is fantastic, nothing can compare to the time you have with your loved ones in your home country.
I returned on Sunday morning and have had days off ever since, which I adore!! I went to Dubai Mall yesterday to get something for my mom's friend back home and I still get goosebumps when I walk in the mall - it's truly remarkable and fascinating. And it is impossible not to shop when you are there, the shops are out of this world!!!
I recently started watching this series called Breaking Bad (sure you know about it) - man it's sooo addictive, once one episode is finished, you just HAVE to watch the next one... I think I completed 3 seasons in a matter of a week! There are two words that this drug addict guy uses a lot throughout the show, which is just so funny the way he says it: "Yo b#tch" so sometimes when I chat with my fiancé we will joke about it (he also loves the show) - so my point is, if you haven't watched Breaking Bad yet.... DO it, you are missing out b#tch :P
Have to get going, hope you will have a wonderful day oh and if you are not following me on Twitter yet, do it ;) @MaryksB
