Happy Holidaze from us adventurers! Today we wanted to wake up early and get a good head start on the day and go to Noorderlicht Cafe at 12 for the 420Fest. We ended up sleeping until 1pm! We then woke up and got ready quickly and Ubered to NDSM.
Once we got to Noorderlicht Cafe, we got drinks and got a table outside to enjoy the 74 degree weather! After enjoying some herbal refreshments, Shawn got up and went to go get a beer from the bar. When 4:20pm came around everyone cheered and lit up together. It was cool to be in an environment where everyone was cheering for something that we are so used to being illegal and frowned upon in the states.
We then decided to grab some food from the snack bar and go to the lawn to sit in the grass and eat. Shortly after that we Ubered to the center of Amsterdam for our canal tour. We had some time before the tour, so we went to some souvenir stores and got some gifts for our families back home.
At this point we all were tired, overheated, and had migraines starting. We powered through and enjoyed the beautiful canal ride at sunset. As soon as it finished we knew we should just go to bed. So we went to our Airbnb and went to bed.
Unfortunately, our Airbnb host was having a party with his friends. So after sleeping from 9pm-12am, we were awoken by loud music thumping the whole house. He kept us up until about 2:30am. But we finally got back to sleep!
Happy Easter to All! Shawn and Russell are making their way to Switzerland today, and I am being picked up by my dad’s cousin, Astrid!
Enjoy the holidays! I didn’t take many pictures today, so enjoy the few I took!
