    Hello Amsterdam

    Goodbye Scotland, hello Amsterdam 👋.
    After a fuss free effort to get to Edinburgh airport , getting to our accommodation in Amsterdam was a different story.
    We decided to go by train as taxi eas to pricey.
    1st train ✅️. But our ticket wouldn't work and no to ask why. Found a way through the barrier.
    2nd train ❌️, wrong train. We ended up
    30mins out of Amsterdam, (my error) so our ticket didnt work here and had trouble getting off the station. Managed to catch a train back. Then we needed a bus. Wrong bus ❌️ (Gordon's error). Got another bus ✅️ Finally made it to our home for the next few days 2hrs later. 🤦‍♀️.
