Last Thursday I hopped on a plane to Amsterdam to spend a much needed long weekend off with my best friend Ruth! She is currently based over there and it was lovely to go back and be shown around by someone who knows whats what!
On the first night we had a lovely time catching up, eating good food and having a wander around! The next morning I had to film an audition tape for an exciting casting, so it was perfect that I happened to be staying with my favourite filmmaker at the time and we had fun filming it! Fingers crossed!

We spent the rest of Friday wandering around Amsterdam and taking in the sights, eating the best Mexican food I have ever had, drinking Margaritas and finished it off with a movie marathon!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of being invited along to a Sinterklaas party with Ruth's fellow filmmaker friends. Sinterklaas (St Nicholas) is sort of like our Santa (with very questionable elves called Piet) and he is celebrated on the 5th of December. It is hard to explain so if you wanna know more, have a read here:

On Sunday we spent my last day exploring the city a bit more and visited the Van Gogh museum which was interesting and worth a look!
