Sister time part 2

Aloha! Here comes the second part of our sister time in Amsterdam! A bit late I know, but I was too busy eating lam and tzatziki. Χριστός Ανέστη by the way!

3.4.2015:

As you might know already, tulips are one of the most important things in Holland! Dutch people take their flowers seriously and in my host family we had always fresh flowers in the house to bring some color. I love flowers and it was definitely the best decision to visit keukenhof with my sister. Get ready to see some seriously crazy tulips! If you suffer from allergies you are probably not going to like this post that much...

Unfortunately the flowers hadn't bloomed yet, but I am sure that it would have been spectacular!

Visit keukenhof if you ever get the chance! You won't regret it, trust me ;)

Have a beautiful day! :)

Sister time part 1

Hallo! Today is my last day in Amsterdam and tomorrow I am going back to Greece to eat lam and celebrate the craziness of Easter! It's hard to believe that my time in Amsterdam is over, but I am sure I will be coming back some day! I will also miss these three little munchkins and it's going to be so strange not to see them in who knows how long! Either way, I will always remember this experience as a good one no matter how hard it was at times.

BUT I am still not over with my posts about Amsterdam! I had my sister visiting last week and we did some touristy things that I wouldn't have done otherwise. I finally went on that damn boat tour that I have been wanting to go to since I came in August. Good thing she came and I even got to see Keukenhof and the windmills (or one at least). I am separating the posts in three because I don't want to make my posts too long.

Day one: 2.4.2015

Exploring Amsterdam by boat! We almost melted in the boat because it was so sunny, on the other hand at least it wasn't raining!

 Me and my nephew :) (my skills on editing are ridiculous, but it is what it is) 
 Dam square
 Fries with mayo! What were we thinking when we got the big one? We were eating and eating, but they never seemed to end! -_-
We went home feeling sick from the fries and I had the great idea to have chocolate...my stomach officially hates me now! 

I have to continue packing now! I have no idea how I am going to squeeze everything into one suitcase. Somebody help me? 

Doei doei!
