Day 5- Travel to Amsterdam

Today was quite exhausting, we were up at 5:00, bc our host insisted that we have one last meal, bread and cheese, Joe and I really couldnt turn it down. So we had breakfast and a bit of coffee and then Claus took us to the train station. From there we had to transfer 2 different trains today and just arrived at our hostel at 9pm. So as you can see we are a bit tired and hungry. Traveling to the hostel, we missed our stop on the Tram and went all the way to the end of the line only to have to turn around and go back 14 stops from the end...stupid!!!! So when we were trying to find our hostel we stopped at another local hotel to ask for directions, the attendant told joe, we were in for a real "treat" - a fancy one star hotel...great!!!! As we walked through the entrance we walked up super steep, old red carpeted stairs, only to find out that they book us in seperate rooms....double great! We argued with the front desk for a bit and decided that it would be best for me to be in an all girls room and for joe to explore the room of unknown characters....
It actually isnt that bad, it is only one night and then we are off to the countryside of Amsterdam. Don't worry mom and Sue, we are safe. :)
