This post isn't going to be an in depth story of my trip as essay writing isn't my forte! But more of a montage of my photography from each place with a few anecdotes. As there are so many pictures, I will probably split the cities into 2 or 3 blog posts.
Hope you enjoy it, and if you don't already I would appreciate if you followed my bloglovin, you can find my link here, instagram here and subscribe to this blog, thaaaaankz x
FIRST STOP
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Starting off in the square, there's this huge monument, with (I'm assuming) jesus and disciples etc, and many enormous buildings. Amsterdam is quite 'toy town' like, colourful houses and small shops etc. Extremely pretty yet very very strange city..
(What I wore)
Vest Top - Gant
Shorts - Levi jeans, DIY cut
Lace undershorts - eBay
Rucksack - Kipling
Weirdly, like Venice.. although not like Venice as there are roads, each street is separated by canals.. that all look the same. Below is the canal in which our hostel The Bulldog (just in case you want to go) was located, bang in the middle of Dam Center and The Red Light District.
There was quite a lot of street art, I took pictures of some of my favourites. Below of course; Frida Kahlo, Mandela and I think some of the Sopranos?
We visited various iconic places, such as the Van Gogh Museum and Vondel Park. Vondel Park is the park mentioned in 'The Fault In Our Stars' sooo ye.
Here's me and karms, havin' a bubble in the park with the strange paper mache birds.
Anyway, onwards
SECOND STOP
Berlin, Germany
In Berlin we did this awesome tour of the underground art and graffiti movements, and I took millions of pictures, but here is just a few:
How cool, this astronaut below, when the sun illuminates a flag on a building opposite it, it lines up with the mans hand looking like he's placing it in the ground on the moon. That's brainy.
The YAAM bar was a Jamaican Beach Bar located next to part of the Berlin Wall, entirely run by people who live around it, it is a self sustaining place. Supposidly (although not very believable) the sand in the bar was transported from Jamaican Beaches. I got a really sassy pair of beaded earrings from here, and I shall feature them in a later post.
The final place we visited on the tour was a bar/graffiti location where it was legal for artists to come and paint on the walls as one guy owned it, meaning that weekly the art changed as new artists painted onto the walls.
This post is already really long, so I shall leave it at Amsterdam and Berlin. Hope you enjoyed it, and it inspires you to visit places we went to! More cities to come, keep an eye out for my next posts!
