After our training week in Gillingham we all parted ways. Some girls went home. Some stayed. Myself, Shacarra, Katelyn, Ban, and Biggs spent one day and night together in London. We somehow found the way to our Air BnB and then went on an adventure through some markets, street performers, parks, by the river, and down endless streets filled with pubs. Eventually we just stopped in one and had fish and chips and beer. Classic.
The next morning we all parted ways. Ban left early for her flight to Croatia where she spent 2 magical weeks by the sea. Biggs explored London by herself for a bit before catching a flight to Denmark, and then on to Norway after that. Shacarra, Kate, and I had brunch at a cute little local restaurant and then headed to Heathrow to catch our flights to Amsterdam. We spent 2 days together there before I got picked up by family to head north. Amsterdam was just so amazing. I immediately fell in love with the city. The architecture. The character. The canals. The food. The beer. Oh the beer. The people. The culture. The bicycles. Even the traffic. Everything. It was also like being at home in a sense because the language, food, and decor were all very familiar to me. I just soaked in every second of it. The Netherlands has a piece of my heart. I cannot wait to go back. <3 <3
