Hello my beautiful sunflowers 🌻 💛

I hope you all are good and have a beautiful day /evening or evening night!

Yesterday was a little bit stressful for me. I had to go to the town to buy last minute things while I have been packing over and over again. Wow. Even managed to get my packages i ordered. Clothes etc.

Mini locks for my backpack and travel bag. New water bottle (I saw they had a purple one so I grabbed that one instead of the black/Grey one), some bandages,  deodorant,  new tooth brush and toothpaste. I also bought metallic rings to keep all the keys and extra locks on that I will take with me.

I now give up on packing.. I dont know how many  times I’ve been repacking everything but hopefully im done.. If I forgot something back home, I can buy there.

Train tickets, one of the stress for this trip.. okey so I bought train tickets that would leave 10.45pm from where I live and be at the airport at 4.35am and the plane leaves at 6am. I thought it was good amount of time to check in etc but after checking the airlines recommendations, I felt panic! ohmygod. So I ended up buying new train tickets which will make me stay at the airport 8h before flight. What am I gonna do? everything will be closed. No food place to eat, no drinks etc. So before I go today I must buy something I can have and eat while waiting.

I have also packed my camera gears including the tripod. Hopefully they dont take it as a weapon or so. that would be awful! It’s just a tripod!? That can’t make something bad?

Solo travel .. yes im going alone so I am super nervous. I will need to handle the locations etc by myself and we all know how me and.locations are. Not goos but lets see.

I’m gonna try relax and maybe take a quick nap so I have some energy to stay awake tonight. It’s scary to be at the airport plus.. no where to sleep.

I’ll blog later when im either on my way down or when im there and everything..

Hey guys! I know I have been quiet but now I’m here. I have been busy with school, Christmas breaks, son been sick and a mini vacation! woho!

M surprised me with a trip to Amsterdam, The Netherlands! How fun!  I have never been there or outside Sweden/ Scandinavia actually. Norway and Finland for a few hours (big ferry trip). We stayed four nights there. It was so cozy and we saw a lot of things. Went to different museums.

From Sweden 🇸🇪 ✈️ to Amsterdam, The Netherlands 🇳🇱

I Can honestly say, I do not like to go on planes. I hate flying but luckily the flight was only 1h and 45 minutes long.

I dont know how many pictures I have taken but I do know I have 1200+ files on my phone (pics and viseos) and i used two cameras there. 256GB card and one 32GB card. I have actually not looked at them one time since we came home. It has been crazy for a few days.

I will show pics and write about each day in different posts. Like I said, I have so many y pictures to show 🥰

Friday the 10th, we arrived in Amsterdam and checked in at our hotel. We went out for a while to check it out, look for place to eat dinner etc. No we did not try THOSE stuffs while we were there. Anyway, I was so amazed that there were flowers growing, the grass were green etc. Back home we had 50cm snow, minus degrees celsius etc . So yeah I was both amazed and shocked to be honest.

It rained so so bad the first night but we still went out for few hours. I felt like a typical tourist. Two cameras, one phone and GPS on phone. Hey don’t judge, it was our first time there 😅 We didn’t wanna get lost there. So many alleys!

It was a lovely vacation to celebrate our anniversary.  E wasn’t with us (he were having a sleep overs at some friends 😊 M & them had planned this).

Thank you for reading. Make sure to follow my Instagram eej.foto where I’m gonna upload more photos!
