Maybe I was Wrong

Day 2: London to Amsterdan
So today has been freaking crazy. I woke up this morning pumped and excited to start the journey. I had a shower. The only reason I mention it was the fact that the hot water was broken and would not turn off, leaving me with a steam room. Then I caught the bus to the…
