Winter always calls for some festive travels with my friend Holleigh. Previously we’ve done winter breaks in Frankfurt and Marrakech; this year it was Amsterdam. Our friend Stimps also came along for the ride this time.
It has always bothered me how few of the countries that are so local to Great Britain that I’ve visited. The Netherlands particularly which is probably linked to a passion I have for some of their national footballers (Dennis Bergkamp in particular) and therefore wanting to know what their home country is like. Odd, I know.
Anyway, in line with my general travel planning habits, I booked some cheap flights with Easyjet on a whim and sent a message to numerous friends asking if they would like to join. And voila! A pre-Christmas Amsterdam trip was on the cards for a princely flight cost of £68.
