Amsterdam - Into the City

The next part of our trip saw us venture into the heart of the city, to revisit the familiar, explore the new and re-connect with a good friend.

We made the most of the hotel breakfast, as limited as it was, before checking out and ordering an Uber into the city centre. As events had unfolded we'd arranged to meet our friend Magdalena late morning and grabbing an Uber meant we could get close to our meeting point and as on time as we could manage.

Our drop off was perfect and only required a short walk with our case and backpacks. 

Made it into the heart of the city

Thankfully we were able to leave our bags at Magdalena's store while we enjoyed lunch at a nearby Korean BBQ restaurant. The advantage of hooking up with a friend meant finding the best places to eat!

A couple of hours later we left the company of Magdalena to take a walk to our next hotel and check-in. Now we always try to get the best deal on hotels and this can sometimes mean finding one off the main path, which we don't mind as it helps us to get our steps in for the day! And this time was no exception; we had picked the Hampton by Hilton which was to the east of the city centre and about a 30 minute walk…well it would have been had we (okay me!) been able to read Google maps correctly! We eventually found our way there and despite arriving about 30 minutes before the 3pm check-in time our room was ready which meant we could get ourselves all sorted and settled in.

Later on we took a walk back into the city centre and discovered the way we should have walked earlier and it was way easier, quicker and much more direct! Oh and it started to rain…and it was windy…so by the time we met up with Magdalena once again we were a little on the soggy side. We took a walk through the city to the gay district to have drinks (okay black coffee for us because that's how we roll!) with Magdalena and some of her friends as well as meeting her wife for the first time. And despite the rain we were able to sit outside and stay surprisingly dry and warm.

As we said our goodbyes and ventured off in search of food we realised we knew where in the city we were and more importantly that meant we knew we were close to one of our favourite restaurants; Burgermeester! A great little find if you like good quality burgers and if, like us, you like to change things up a little by swapping the bread for salad. Their Beef Royale is fantastic and their truffle fries are a must have indulgence! Very yummy and very satisfying.

Thankfully by the time we finished our meal the rain had subsided which meant the rather long walk back to the hotel wasn't too bad at all! A day of 21,500 steps!

The following day we woke to a grey and overcast day and with no real agenda other than to enjoy the city at our own pace.

The hotel breakfast fuelled us before we headed out towards the museum district of the city in the rain and the wind! Along the way we spotted a cafe called ‘The School of Life’ which belonged to the YouTube channel of the same name, a channel we were very familiar with. So it felt only right having stumbled across it, and not even realising it existed, that we stop for coffee and banana bread. 

Having dried out and warmed up a little we headed back out and made our way to the Stedelijk museum. This was our first time visiting this museum and our timing was perfect as they had a new exhibition by the Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf; his works captured Amsterdam through the decades, with works that have been considered provocative and daring...there were some beautiful and interesting pieces in a display that led you through the museum.

As we headed back into the centre of the city we made best use of our navigational skills and Google maps! When exploring cities we have discovered a great way to discover more about where you are is to fire up Google maps, pick a destination and follow the directions…it might be in search of a coffee or a shop or a place of interest but not only does it get you to your destination you also get to see parts of a city you might not have otherwise seen. Today's target was Uniqlo! We don't have many of these shops in the UK and they are known for occasionally selling Disney themed clothes…which for me is a ‘must check and see'...unfortunately on this occasion there was nothing there to tempt me.

As the afternoon marched on, and not having eaten since breakfast we decided we were in need of food and amazingly Simon not only realised where in the city we were but more importantly he remembered a restaurant we'd eaten at during our first visit two years earlier. So Nader Steakhouse it was and we met the owner, Boris, once more who was just as lovely as he was the first time we'd dined there.

Our next little wander saw us head for a Dr Martens store as I'd fallen in love with the pair of boots that our friend Magdalena had worn the previous day and I hadn't seen before. Upon investigation the boots were also available in the UK and for basically the same price so I think they may go on my 'I'd really like to have' list. 

Our walk back to the hotel that evening saw us stop at Boerejongens to pick up some 'special' red velvet cake as well as some evening snacks from the close by Albert Heijn.

Oh and today's step count was another 21,000!

The following day was much brighter with clear blue skies, although it was still a little on the chilly side. Today we had another museum we wanted to visit but this time we headed out to the NDSM-Werf area across the River IJ by taking the free ferry located behind Centraal Station.

The ferry runs continuously and there is normally only a few minutes wait for the next one to arrive. The journey across the water only takes around ten minutes or so and provides some interesting sights along the way. Our destination when arriving was the Straat Museum; a museum located within one of the old shipbuilding units that now houses some amazing pieces of street art and graffiti. This is so worth a visit to experience these pieces of art up close and personal and see the scale at which they have been created. 

This was our second visit and it still captivated us as much as our first time. One word of warning though as this is situated inside an old shipbuilding space there is no heating so visiting at this time of year it wasn’t the warmest, but they do have a very lovely cafe where we could warm up with a coffee.

After we’d taken the ferry back over to the city we decided to go in search of some food and found another of our favourite places; Bakers & Roasters. We made best use of their all day brunch menu and enjoyed their Kiwi Breakfast which was scrummy.

Despite feeling very full we headed off in search of chocolate and specifically Puccini chocolate; again another discovery from previous trips to the city. Their shops smell absolutely amazing and the quality of their chocolate is just divine. Suffice to say a variety of chocolate was purchased, some for us to enjoy and some for our kids back home! 

Amazing array of chocolates that smell scrumptious

The rest of the day saw us meandering around the city, enjoying the sights and sounds and racking up 23,000 steps!

Hat had to go on as it turned a tad chilly as we walked back to the hotel.

For our final full day in the city we headed out from the hotel in the direction of ‘illy Caffe’ near to Centraal Station and somewhere where we knew we would get a very nice cup of coffee…in fact we had three coffees…an Americano each and for Simon a Caffe Viennese, an espresso with a generous amount of sweetened whipped cream!

Just around the corner from there is the 'Sexmuseum' so we decided to stop by and see what it had to offer. And while some of it was a little on the tacky and cheesy side if you take the time to look properly and take in the displays there is a great history there to be discovered. You just have to get past the giggles of twenty-somethings who’ve probably had a drink or two or a little ‘something else’!!

Sexmuseum

As we ventured forth to explore more of the city we once again found ourselves at yet another restaurant that we’d had the pleasure of dining at before; Eggs Benaddicted where we enjoyed another late brunch!

Roast beef & eggs = yummy!

Once refuelled we headed back out into the city for more of an explore and this time decided to try and find an art gallery by the artist Tim Cantor; can't actually remember the reason behind finding this gallery, but I do remember that me and Google maps are not a good combination and our route to find the gallery became rather convoluted but at least we saw more of the city and got even more steps in! Oh and we did find the gallery which, although small, had some lovely pieces.

The remainder of the day was more wandering, buying more ‘special cake’ (hoping for their salted caramel but it was not to be), drinking coffee and more steps as we headed back to the hotel for our final night before travelling home…

…or was it??

Oh and steps for the day were a mere 28,300!!

Amsterdam - February 2026

After visiting Amsterdam for the very first time in April 2024 we have fallen in love with the city and this marked our fourth trip.

The catalyst for this trip was the chance to see my favourite band, White Lies, on tour. When they announced their tour dates back in May 2025 we very quickly booked the closest venue to us in Manchester for late January 2026. But when we saw that Amsterdam was also on the schedule, and having never been to a concert abroad, and it being in a city that we have grown to have a deep affection for it was a complete no brainer and tickets were bought instantly.

So with concert tickets secured we set about booking hotels and transport. As the gig was just outside the city centre, by about 10km, 

we opted to book a hotel close to the venue for a couple of nights and then book elsewhere, closer to the centre, for a few more days. How long we stayed was dictated by the mode and cost of transport, and being retired we had no reason not to spend time in the city and reconnect with places and friends.

For our very first trip we had flown to Amsterdam from the UK and while the flight was relatively short at just over an hour there were some downsides. First, there were no direct flights from our local airport (15 minutes from where we live) so instead we had to travel over an hour and pay for airport parking. Times; to get a reasonably priced flight the departure times were either stupidly early or late in the day. Cost; we have quickly discovered that cheap flights are not as easy to come by as we thought! Heaven forbid you actually want to take luggage with you or sit together! So that cheap base flight suddenly increased with all the little add-ons! Once in Amsterdam there is more cost with simply getting from the airport into the city; we chose an Uber which was simple and convenient although train links would have worked out cheaper, but back then as a first time visitor we wanted to make life as simple and as stress free as possible. 

All of that had resulted in a change of attack for our subsequent visits when we discovered the benefits of rail travel. Using the Eurostar from London, St Pancras to Centraal Station Amsterdam provided us with a much calmer and cheaper (and greener!) option to flying. Previous trips had seen us take a train from our local station down to London to stay overnight in a cheap hotel before embarking on the Eurostar the following morning. But this time we were trying something different.

Our day started pretty much as any normal day in our house. We'd done the majority of our packing the evening before so we only had to throw in a few last minute essentials, have some breakfast and tidy around before meeting our pre-booked Uber at 9.30am.  By 9.42am we were getting dropped off at our local train station. This did mean we had an hour to spare before our booked train but we had done that on purpose. Not only did this mean that we would be on time, it also gave us time to enjoy a coffee before we stepped on the train. 

Fuel for the journey ahead

We are fortunate to have a lovely independent coffee shop across from the rail station so we could enjoy a coffee, make use of their bathroom and still be at the station in plenty of time to start the journey in a calm and refreshed manor. Although as we arrived at the platform we were met with an announcement that our train was running six minutes late!

First train of the day!

When we'd bought the tickets we'd been assigned seats so I knew we were looking for carriage B seats 31 and 32, and if you use the trains in the UK, you know that there is a little LED display above the seats that says ‘Reserved’. But it was still no surprise to me to find someone sitting in one of our seats! I politely said that he was sitting in our seats to which we were met with ‘oh are they reserved?’ I couldn’t resist saying ‘err yes like the sign above you says’!! He moved without issue so we had our seats. The only wrinkle was there was nowhere for our suitcase to go; the luggage racks were full and while some trains have space between rows of seats this train did not. Somehow we managed to squeeze ourselves, two coats, two back packs and a medium sized case into the two seats! It was a little compact but at least we were sitting down…oh and travelling backwards (this has been a pattern of the majority of our train journeys, so much so that facing the correct direction of travel has turned into quite a novel experience for us!). Despite the cramped conditions Simon was still able to use the time to get out his digital art pad and work on his latest creation. 

We arrived at St Pancras about 8 minutes late but this wasn't an issue as we'd picked a Eurostar departure that not only gave us plenty of time to allow for the allotted check-in time but was also the cheapest ticket available! So with time to spare we were able to enjoy a light snack and coffee at Pret A Manger…although I was very tempted by EL&N and their lovely cakes and bakes but perhaps we can reserve that as a treat on our return journey. 

Snack time

London, St Pancras has numerous places to eat and shop so we took advantage of M&S Food to grab some snacks for the journey ahead! M&S may not be the cheapest option but they do have some good quality items that satisfy our way of eating. We grabbed some hard boiled eggs, some cocktail sausages and some overnight oats! We had the obligatory bathroom stop before heading to Eurostar departures where we were let through before the allotted check-in time. In fact we were through security and passport control (times two as you pass through both UK and French border controls) four minutes before the actual check-in time!

Now a word of warning when travelling with Eurostar out of St Pancras, the departure hall gets very busy! We walked all the way around and the best we could do was find a piece of wall to lean against! Thankfully when the train before ours was called for boarding we did manage to grab a couple of seats.

And wait...

About 30 minutes before departure we were called to board at Platform 9. Be sure to know what your carriage number is as this dictates which exit from the departure hall to use. We were amongst the first to get to the platform and found our carriage (number 5) with ease. As we found our seats we discovered that there was luggage storage right behind us as we were located towards the centre of the carriage. 

Our journey was uneventful until we arrived at Brussels, our second stop of the journey. There had been an earlier announcement advising that the crew on board would be swapping over during this stop but it became noticeable that we'd been stopped for a good amount of time and that was when the first of many announcements happened. We were going to be delayed because the crew joining our train were stuck on another train that had broken down! What followed were numerous announcements, texts and emails from Eurostar letting us know what was happening and ultimately the predicted 45 minute delay turned into 75 minutes! It was slightly annoying that we would now be arriving at 9.35pm and not the scheduled 8.20pm and we still had to find our way to our hotel about 10km away from the city centre BUT at least a delay of over 60 minutes did mean we would be able to claim compensation! And because our outbound tickets were the ones which had cost us the most, that's a win?!

Interestingly Eurostar did not mention in their texts or emails about compensation and the only reason I knew was because I searched for it on their website. And the reason I did that was because on a previous delayed journey using East Midlands Railway we had experienced a similar situation but on that occasion the train manager had made an announcement advising all passengers that they would be entitled to a compensation claim. So kudos to EMR for their customer service but not so much for Eurostar. The plan was to make a claim once we were home…but more about that on a future post!

Anyway back to our journey! Our original plan had been to catch a local train from Amsterdam Centraal to the arena area where our hotel was located but by the time we got off the train and got our bearings we just wanted to make life as easy as possible for us. Trying to interpret signs both pictorial and in Dutch just felt too much for 10pm after almost 6 hours on a train! Instead we stopped by a small Albert Heijn store and picked up some nibbles and water before ordering ourselves an Uber…and that's when the next round of fun began.

Centraal Station, Amsterdam

We dutifully ordered a nice electric Uber, found our way to the correct pick up point with ease and waited. We could see the driver was only a couple of minutes away but what we, and the driver, didn't know was that construction had closed the road that led to where the pick up point was with no alternative route in place. Thankfully our driver phoned us and we had a mad few minutes trying to figure out where he was in relation to where we were in the dark with a very busy, multi-laned road in-between us! Finally we saw each other (I think it was using my pink hair to locate us that did the trick).

Easy to spot, even at night!

We found a safe place to cross the road so that we could get to where our driver was waiting for us. He was very apologetic, although none of it was his fault, but at least we were all able to have a laugh about it. He then got us safely to our hotel, the Holiday Inn Express Arena by about 10.45pm! Once in our room and unpacked we were able to enjoy our snacks, put on our PJs, chill and try to defrazzle our brains!!

Finally made it!

Thursday 26th February 

The day started very slowly; the effects of the long travel day and an hours time difference meant we surfaced later than our normal routine. But as we had no real plans for the day until the evening we decided to take things nice and steady.

We had breakfast included with our stay and the name ‘Express Start’ kind of summed up the affair. It was very much a ‘continental’ breakfast buffet with pastries, bread, meats, cheese, yogurts, fruit and scrambled eggs! Not our usual preference but as it was ‘free’ we made the best of it. It was a very busy service and although there was a section with lots of free tables we were told not to use them and to stay in the main section which was rammed! Thankfully a table came free and to give the staff credit they were all very polite, very busy and cleared the table for us quickly. 

Despite being away from home we did have a couple of online jobs we wanted to get done around Simon’s art projects so we took advantage of the hotel's WiFi before heading out to explore the surrounding area and locate the venue for that evening’s concert.

It turned out that the venue was no more than a 5 minute walk from the hotel and opposite the main Johan Cruijff arena. Consequently the whole area is very modern, and straddles a busy rail intersection with shops and restaurants. As we were in need of a decent size coffee we were very thankful to find a Starbucks based just inside the rail station. We explored the area around the station and the arena which was a mixture of shops and restaurants. The further away from the arena the older the shops appeared and at one side we found a market that had a surprising number of Crane birds hanging about like they owned the place! 

At the opposite end to the market we found a very modern shopping mall to explore but soon discovered that every shop, with the exception of one art gallery, had something to do with home furnishings…it was all a little surreal. But located within the mall we found a kooky restaurant called Booven where we enjoyed some food, coffee and cake to keep us fuelled for the evening ahead. 

Booven

Villa Arena Mall

We returned to the hotel for an hour or so before heading back out for the concert later on. White Lies were playing at the AFAS arena and I have to say the venue was very efficient at getting everyone inside; tickets scanned, bag check, pat down and a small wooden token given to each of us. Although we had no idea what the token was for…maybe the toilet? But no it's handed over when ordering your first drink as a way of avoiding the overuse of plastics. And for each subsequent drink you hand over your used glass otherwise you have to pay a nominal fee! 

AFAS Arena

White Lies were as awesome as ever, although I did feel for Harry, their lead singer, as his voice was a little croaky after almost four weeks on the road. We found ourselves towards the back of the venue, which was fine by me as I am not great if the crowd is too intense, but we did discover that the Dutch (or at least those around us) were all rather tall! We managed to find moments when we could see the stage but we were just grateful to be there and enjoy the experience. 

Interestingly the constant stream of people moving to and from the bar area that we'd experienced in Manchester in late January was exactly the same here. As someone who only enjoys a glass of wine very occasionally I do find it all rather peculiar that at a concert when you've paid good money to see a band people are moving back and forth fetching drinks and missing out on the performance. Also, as this was our first concert abroad, I became very aware that we were singing our hearts out to all the lyrics of all of the songs but the crowd around us only became vocal at key chorus moments; which makes perfect sense when the band playing is not in their natural language. All in all a great gig, fabulous venue and a wonderful night that ended with a five minute walk back to the hotel…perfect!

More about our Amsterdam adventure in my next post as we move closer to the city centre.

An Introduction...

Let me introduce myself…as it's been a while!

I started this blog way back in….2012….in fact the 12th August 2012 saw my very first post to be precise.

And since then me and my blog have seen some changes, what started out as a blog to chronicle my love of Disney, and specifically my travels to Walt Disney World expanded to include health, well being, more Disney and even a diary covering that period of time between 2020 and 2022 that was a little strange for the world at large.

So who am I now….

Well I am still the same Disney loving gal that I have always been but my real life world has changed. I am now retired (very fortunate to have been able to take this next step in life relatively early!). My kids have now left home and are forging their own way in this world. In the last couple of years my partner in this crazy thing called life, Simon, has also joined me in retirement and we are busy uncovering a new way to live. When I retired from my job as pre-school manager I took on the volunteer role as their committee chairperson and now devote a little of my time (and hopefully knowledge) each year to support them. I continue to co-host the Disney Dream Girls podcast with my bestie, Michelle, and we are now approaching 600 episodes. This does mean that at least once a week I get the chance to have a good ‘waffle on’ about all things Disney. We have an amazing group of friends we call family through our continued Star Wars cosplay shenanigans. My Disney tattoo collection is ever expanding. The non-sporty me has learned to love the gym (and I continually surprise myself at what I am able to do) and I now embrace anything to do with health and wellbeing from eating well to staying active to mindfulness and more. And now with more time on our hands we find that we have the time, resources and inclination to travel a little more…even if that travel is predominantly ‘Disneyfied’!

So with all that in mind I really wanted to take up writing again, to share my thoughts and to journal our adventures. In late August of 2022, after 893 consecutive blog posts, I decided that the world had gotten back to something resembling normal and it was time to stop the daily posts.

Away from the blog I managed to keep the daily momentum of writing going by keeping a personal diary and on occasions dabbled with the odd blog post or two but never regained the consistency I once had. 

And while my personal diary provides me with a memory box of daily events it, by its nature, doesn’t stretch my writing muscles.

So I find myself in a qundary; while I have a desire to write more, to chronicle experiences in our life and to wax lyrical about topics I feel passionate about I find that my confidence in my abilities to do so has diminished. I find myself in the classic ‘catch-22’; the less I write the more I want to but the lack of writing has knocked my confidence. I have convinced myself that I have nothing important to share or that no-one is interested in what I have to say…my inner critic has played havoc with my confidence.

But you know what…I don’t care what anyone else thinks, or whether anyone will read this. I am not doing it for an audience I am doing it because I want to and if anyone out there takes an interest then that is a bonus.

So enough waffling on I best get started!

Disney Bubble Here We Come!

Welcome to the first of a few posts documenting our recent return to the Disney bubble otherwise known as Walt Disney World.

Where shall we begin...

So for context this was our first visit to Walt Disney World since August of 2013 and was long overdue. Our Disney fix had been satisfied with two short trips to Disneyland Paris and two Disney cruises in the intervening years but this was our return to the place where my love of Disney and its parks had started.

It was also the first time visiting WDW on our own since 1996! And it was a trip that we were determined to make the most of. Now ordinarily when planning a vacation you have to factor in work commitments which can determine not only when you travel but also the length of your trip, but now being 'a retired couple' we had much more freedom in picking the when and the how long! 

With that our trip started on Tuesday 25th February 2025 as we made our way from our home in the middle of the UK to London and then onto Gatwick airport by train. 

First train of our trip...London here we come!

Arriving at Gatwick we checked into our first hotel of the trip; the Bloc hotel. The hotel is located in the south terminal of the airport and was great for a convenient overnight stay; smart and compact room meant we had a comfy nights sleep ready for the following days travel.

Small room but it did the job!

We were able to grab breakfast at one of the airport restaurants before checking out of the hotel and taking advantage of their complimentary 'fast pass' through security. 

Full English brekkie to start the day

Bags were dropped, security cleared and a Starbucks acquired all by 8.50am ready for our flight leaving at 11.20am. We couldn't have asked for a smoother and more relaxing, stress free start to the day.

And we are ready for take-off

Best get comfy!!

Our flight left on time and a mere nine and a quarter hours later we landed at terminal C at Orlando International airport. With thanks to my friend Michelle we had downloaded the MPC app which meant that we could 'skip' the border control main line once we had our bags and we sailed through with ease. We made our way down a few levels and found the Mears Connect reception and checked in for the transportation to the first Disney hotel of our trip; Coronado Springs. 

On the bus to Coronado Springs

Back in 2013 we were booked to stay at Coronado Springs but upon arrival we found ourselves upgraded to the Wilderness Lodge! So when planning this trip we decided that for the first couple of nights we would stay at the place that we'd planned to stay at all those years previous. 

Arriving around 6pm we took the evening to get settled into our room, grab some food and explore the resort. It had changed a fair amount since 2013 with the addition of the Gran Destino Tower, new restaurants and lounges and the landscaping was much more vibrant and plentiful than back in 2013. It is a truly beautiful resort.

New to us on this trip was the 'My Disney Experience' app and all that that entailed. This meant that prior to arriving at the hotel (in fact prior to leaving the UK) we had completed an online check-in so when we arrived we received a notification telling us our room was ready. We were also able to magically open our hotel door via the app as well. Although more on this in a later post!!

Our first full day started rather early as our body clocks adjusted to the 5 hour time difference and we found ourselves awake at 5.30am. Simon decided to go out for an early morning run completing 5 km by running four laps of Lago Dorado. We then both made use of the resorts gym, which happened to be quite close to where our room was. 

Up and about bright and early

After grabbing some quick service breakfast at 'El Mercado de Coronado' we headed out for the day jumping on a Disney bus to Disney Springs.

This is when I had 'a moment'...one of those 'I'm home' moments...one of those moments that catch you unawares and before you know it you're getting all misty eyed and choked up. We were on the bus making our way to Disney Springs and I was taking in the scenery around me and experiencing a deep feeling of familiarity as I watched the roads pass by and then I saw something that I'd never seen in person and it triggered a surprising reaction. What was it?...the Skyliner (Disney's cable car system that links a number of hotels and a couple of the parks). And as I looked out the window I felt all the emotions come over me and I began to tear up! And I knew then I was home and in my happy place.

Back in 2013 Disney Springs was called Downtown Disney and in the intervening 12 years had undergone an extensive expansion and while some areas were very familiar others were all brand new to us. We had a lovely day exploring all that the Springs had to offer and ended up spending much more time there than I think we had imagined.

We enjoyed some quiet time drinking iced coffee in Starbucks (just days before it closed for a refurbishment) while Simon created one of his many drawings that he completed over the course of the trip (we will devote a post to his art at a later date). Bargains were purchased at Zara! Shops were perused and lots of money was spent in my head! We enjoyed a salad from Earl of Sandwich and then later in the day discovered D-Luxe Burger and enjoyed a French Onion Soup burger, which was delicious!

As we waited for our bus back to Coronado Springs we discovered the magic of bus wraps! A good percentage of the Disney bus fleet have been wrapped in different themes and we rode our first one back to the hotel; it was Frozen themed.

I then gave myself the challenge of photographing as many of the bus wraps as possible over the next few weeks! Another post I think will be devoted to my collection of bus wraps and more!

Arriving back at the hotel we dumped our shopping bags in the room and headed out for another explore of the hotel. We grabbed some decaf coffee and enjoyed the resort as the light faded and the hotel lit up. 

Once back in our room we had the task of making sure we were packed and ready for the following days adventure...

Where to next?

A couple of links that may help to explain my love of Disney (plus there are lots of other posts talking about Disney, as well as those documenting past trips!);
