char's travel guide

Following my younger sister's exams, we wanted to book a trip away for her and her friend to celebrate leaving school and to make some fun memories before she moved away to Liverpool for University and what better place than Albuferia known for its beautiful beaches and hot summers... We had booked it throughout Thomas Cook ( when it still existed). It was around £180 for 3 days flights and a hotel which we were over the moon about! I’ve never been to Portugal before but had heard a lot about it so I was super excited to tick another place off my bucket list. We went in the peak of the summer months when It was super warm, we flew out with easy jet on the 22 nd  August until the 25 th  August. Where to stay? We stayed in Quinta Pedra Dos Bicos, Albuferia it was a 4 star and we stayed in an apartment self-catering which had everything we needed and it was super spacious, it was also very close to the beach too which was handy

My past few blogs have all been beach holiday's so I thought id mix it up a bit with a city break and where else better than Amsterdam? Capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is a popular spot for many tourists. Getting There? We booked our flights via EasyJet which was so easily done through their app, we decided to go in the summer as we wanted the weather to be good, although Amsterdam is picturesque the whole year through. We flew out on the 3 rd August – 7 th August and I definitely could of spent longer there as we didn’t get to visit everywhere we would of liked to as there is so much for you to do! We were able to get a tram from the airport to the center where we were able to walk to our hotel. Where to stay? We stayed at a hotel quite close to the center as we had never been before and assumed that the tram’s would be very confusing but once you get used to them they were fine, after browsing online we chose to stay at City Hotel Am
