Amsterdam & Brussels Day 4 – Anne Frank and more … ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

March 19, 2021 by thekellysontour 3 Comments

(From our trip in November 2019)

Today started off quite cold, brrrr which of course we loved hahaha.  We are suckers for a crisp beginning to the day. We were both super excited for this morning because we were booked to go and see something we have always wanted to see…..

Anne Frank’s House

I remember reading this book in high school and being so moved by how incredibly well Anne wrote and just stunned at the horror her and her family endured hiding in that hidden annexe of the house for 2 years.  Can you imagine?  I’m not sure whether the book was a class novel or whether just everyone my age read it but Husband and I both agreed going to Anne Frank’s House was a must do!

Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans – Day 3 ………. ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

January 28, 2021 by thekellysontour No Comments

(From our trip in November 2019)

Ahhhh Jet Lag you old Mother Chuffer.  Awake since 3am – ugh!!! Not loving that.

But my friends there is not time to complain – I threw down a bowl of bitchy for breakfast with a sprinkling of yay we are off to explore and we are out the door.

Today we are off adventuring outside of Amsterdam to visit the cutest place called Zaanse Schans.  I’ve been drooling over this place on travel blogs for years and I’m so thrilled to finally go there.  It’s a little dutch township about 20 mins away on the train with quaint houses and windmills and pretty much how I imagine an old town in the Netherlands to look.

Amsterdam Day 2 – soaking up Dutch life …… ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

December 27, 2020 by thekellysontour 9 Comments

(From our trip in November 2019)

Well folks…. the blog updates are back by popular demand (well if 3 drunk ladies from my book club a few weeks ago count as “demand”).  Sorry I’ve abandoned you like a toddler in a casino carpark but….2020 is a complete dumpster fire and I haven’t been in the mood to make you laugh.  What a bloody decade this year has been and honestly the thought of not taking another trip until my unborn grandbabies become parents has made me have to close off my heart to all things TRAVEL. 

But….it’s time to suck it up and get on with the travel show.  Hopefully I can still remember all the funny stories about people and things I hated on this trip.  Bahahaha who am I kidding, of course I do!!!  Buckle up bitches…..

Amsterdam Day 1 – European Wintery Christmasy Dream Adventure … ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

May 26, 2020 by thekellysontour 4 Comments

(From our trip in November 2019)

Travel Day & Day 1

Well you lucky bunch of blog following bastards – here is the first instalment from the Living in a European Wintery Christmasy Awesomenesss Adventure Dream (I’m gonna need to find a shorter name aren’t I).  Our first stop is Amsterdam but just to refresh your memory here is the blog post that includes our itinerary and plans:- Itinerary awesomeness here.

Allow me to introduce you to my travelling companions.  First up there is Scum Sucking….cough ahem, I mean there is Husband!  I tried to sneak out the door without him but I think that damn guy has some sort of tracking device on me because when I arrived at the airport he came running up panting covered in sweat.  I think he ran the whole way.  Sigh….ok well I guess he can come on my Dream holiday but it’s looking a whole lot less dreamy now.
