What to do on your first visit to Amsterdam (and how to avoid the Red Light District) What to do on your first visit to Amsterdam (and how to avoid the Red Light District) Here we are with another travel post. I recently had a little city break to Amsterdam with a friend of mine, to celebrate the beginning of Easter
First of all, long time no see! Let’s just say that starting my second year of University has taken its toll on me. So I apologise… but in the few months that I’ve been gone, my content has grown so much and my style has got a whole lot better (I’d like to think)
The oxford definition of Irony gives the example sentence: "I just wanted to go out and experience life, so it's ironic that I've ended up writing", which basically describes my life, hence 'Ironic Jess'. The other 50% of the time, we enlist the help of our close friends, family and partners and essentially use them for slave labour (as they so often like to exclaim). The issue here is that paid photographers are paid for a reason, whereas your friends & family are likely to be absolutely clueless, so it’s up to you to teach them how to take a good photo. : Make sure you ask them to take multiple photos incase they make the gargantuan mistake of taking 1 (god forbid this should happen) and keep checking them every 10 or so to make sure the position and angle are working.
It’s obviously impossible to see all that Paris has to offer in 1 day, but if it’s your first time visiting Paris, as it was mine, then 24hrs is enough time to see a selection of it’s unique sights. We arrived at Paris ‘Gare du Nord’ station at 4pm local time (1hr ahead) and preceded to head for the lower level signposted as the ‘Metro’ (Similar to the Underground). We got the 10:30 cruise and left our hotel at 9:30, so baring this in mind, you could easily leave between 7-8 and make time to see the Eiffel Tower. After that, we got the Metro back to Gare du Nord, an hour and a half before our train at 4pm, meaning we spent exactly 24hrs in Paris!
