Travel Day - Amsterdam to Paris

It was really sad to leave Amsterdam this morning. It was a beautiful sunny day and I just wanted to go rent a bike again and have a picnic in the park! We loaded up with a big Dutch breakfast in our hostel before heading to the train station.

It was so big wasn't able to finish it all. We took in our last little time in Amsterdam.

And went off to the train station. The train went smoothly only a 30 minute delay, but I didn't really notice because we took turns switching off who got to sleep and who was awake keeping an eye on our bags. Once we arrived in Paris we bought passes for the metro and navigated our route to our hotel. We got turned around a little, but arrived at our first hotel of the trip (a quality inn) just a little before dinner. It is funny that while this is our first hotel I almost thought our last hostel was nicer. We set all our stuff down and went off in search of Pho 14, a resturant that my guide book recommended and said had the biggest bang for your buck.

I got a crazy drink that had some sort of green noodles, rice mash and coconut milk. Everything was really good and hit the spot for us hunger travelers. I was ready for bed by 8pm, but managed to stall till about 10:30pm. However, if you think it's staying light at home in the US let me show you what it looked like out my window after 10pm. 

Crazy right?! Unfortunately the wifi only works in the lobby and is still pretty nonexistent. So, while I may be writing my posts everyday I don't think I'll be able to post them everyday.
