Rotterdam Day 1

Today was a super chill day. As I mentioned, I really like Amsterdam, so I decided to spend some of the day here, and just head to Rotterdam whenever- since the train ride is only about an hour long. It was also SUNNY today- finally! So after checking out of my hostel, I went to sit by the canal for a little bit and enjoy it for the last time! I went to the same Suranamese restaurant as the other day to get a sandwich because that’s what I was really craving! I did lots more walking around, and walked through the flower market. Then, I went to this famous cookie shop called Van Stapele Koekmakerij which I had to wait in line for 15 minutes. The cookies were very yummy, worth the wait, I ate them by the canal. Later, I walked through the Albert Cuyp Market again in search of a stroopwafel but all of the places in the market were either closed or sold out! I was very sad….. but I got some Mexican street corn as a small snack. Then, I decided that it was time to go, so I went back to the hostel to grab my stuff, and off I went to Rotterdam! A short train ride later, and I checked into my next hostel. I met up with a girl named Lititia, who is a solo traveller that was on the very first day of her trip! We went to the Markthal, which is this coooool building with a bunch of food stands in it! But basically everything was closed by the time that we got there, but we did get a cannoli to eat! So we just walked around the area, and found ourselves at an Italian restaurant, where I got like a lemon cream pasta kinda thing- delicious! We walked to see the large bridge nearby for a little bit, and then she went back to her hostel, and I went back to mine. It was still quite early, so I sat downstairs and did some scrapbooking. The receptionist of the hostel kindly offered me to try a free beer which is actually the first beer that I’ve ever had to myself! I didn’t finish it tho lol….. beer hater for lyfe.Meer informatie
