Budget weekend in Amsterdam for £150 - Day 1

Hey Tober, can you have a weekend in Amsterdam for £150

Okay. Alright, so we just got to the central station

and we're going to put £150 on the clock. Two days in Amsterdam with 150 pounds doesn't seem so bad

We just have to figure out a way to cram everything in. First thing we're going to do is start the day with a coffee

Hi, mate. Can I have a latte, please? So latte is 2 euros 90

We deduct that from 150 and we have 146, 47.50

A 47.50, baby. Okay, first priority, somewhere to sleep. And to drop this bag somewhere, then we can explore the city

Right, I found an hostel and it's 23 minutes away. Now with a budget of £150, you don't want to blow it all on a hotel

You're going to find somewhere cheap to spend the night and get back to exploring

Generator, 4.2 rating and over two and a half thousand people saying, very good

I would like to check in please. What is your name? Turbo Courage. For one night is how much? 36 euros

Alright just checking in and I'm given the option of breakfast for 9 euros 50

I'm tempted but I don't know if they have vegan options so I'm gonna pass

Hello. And this is our bed for the night. Decent size. It does the job. This is

actually a really nice location. There's a lot of greenery, there's a park with a pond

there some ducks in a pond there a water fountain there a cafe just right outside people even having a barbecue Perfect spot feeling peckish Now food is slightly expensive here with most things ranging from about 10 to 12 euros upwards

On average, you get a meal or lunch for about 14, 15 euros

So I'm saying 10 euros per meal. 10 euros for lunch, 10 euros for dinner

Let's see what we can find. Hello. Hi. I was wondering the veggie wrap

Yeah. Does it come as a meal? Yeah, here is 9 euro meal

only the wrap is 5 foot. Veggie wrap chips and drink for 9 euros. It's not fancy but it does the job

and it's cheap. Sauce included makes it 9 euros 50. That was delish. Now 9 euros in pounds is about

seven pounds seven to eight we might not start from our total and we're down to 108 pound 60

it's not looking too bad so i'm just seeing a couple pedaling a boat through the c

now i want to find out the price to see if it's economical and if i'd even want to be

pedaling alone. How much is the pedal boat? 25 an hour with me pedaling alone doesn't sound too

fun. I did find something else. Amsterdam Open Boat C Cruise for 17 pounds 24 pence. Okay

let's look for it. All right, so we're on the boat. It's about to set off. The whole cruise

last an hour and we've got drinks on there now it goes through different sites along the c

and um i'm joined with loads of different people from all around the world happy days all right so

the boat is just pulled out into the amstel river and apparently it's so clean that i can take a cup

of water and possibly drink from it so i'd like to see if we can put that to the test are we able to

Let's see if I'm tall enough. That's the problem. No I don mind It clear there no dirt inside Heineken is made out of this water A Heineken beer and also

Amstel beer is made out of this water. So I'm going to take a sip of it just to show you guys

Wow, amazing. So just come off the boat cruise. Fairly interesting, but a little bit more pricey than I'd expect

So I thought the drinks would come a part of the boat cruise

Turns out you need to pay for it. 8 euros extra. Thank you very much

8 euros in pounds equals £6.91. We minus that for my total

Coming down to 84.45. Not looking too bad. Alright, so I'll just walk him past and look what I came across

All right, I've got the goods Space cakes he goes. This is a two-person portion. So to eat half and wait an hour and see what happens. So

Let's give it a go hell look at it. Look at a chunk of that

Okay this looks like half, we've just had half the brownie

It tastes like a normal chocolate brownie, delicious. I guess we'll just wait and see then

Now that muffin costs 7 euro 50 and pounds 6 pound 48

We minus that from our total and we have 77 pound 97 left

So it's been about an hour, I've been watching the show and nothing at all

okay for dinner i'm thinking pasta for eight euros ninety yes there is

i must admit the pasta looks a lot appetizing on the menu it's just been plopped on a plate

and it doesn't even look like the right size i also just to top it off i be giving a spoon How should I eat this

Pasta costing 8 euros 90 and a bottle of water for 3 euros equals 11 euros 90 in pounds £10.28

we minus that from our toll and we have £67.69 or £78.30

so side note I feel like I might be feeling the muffin

just a little bit I'm not sure yet I want to know when I

get philosophical when the philosophy comes out that's when you know I'm feeling it

here's a thought Imagine life like we are in the matrix. We're literally all walking around in the matrix

Like a little ball of consciousness inside a body. Walking around and experiencing life

Let's see how day two goes. Although I feel like I want to go clubbing tonight. So we might end up spending some more

Watch this space. Hi guys, I'm just at the hostel and I've made some friends

This is Oliver and this is Johan. And they're just hanging out, they're from Denmark and we're about to play cards

They teach me a new word, it's called casino. Alright, and that's it for day one

See you guys in the morning. Peace
