I'm on my way to the bus station, today i'm taking the bus to The Hague. The trip is supposed to take 1 hour and 55 minutes and then I'll have to change bus 3 times. All of that for 3 dollars. The trip wasn't as boring as i thought it would be, even though I missed the third bus and had to wait for about an hour because it didn't go that often. So, 2 and a half hours later I was finally in The Hague. The first feeling i got was warmth, even though it was autumn and the sun was hiding behind the clouds, i felt warm. Like I was where I was supposed to be. It wasn't very different from Amsterdam but it had it's beauty. I knew that there were atleast 6 museums here in The Hague and I really wanted to stay here. I decided to visit one of the museums. The one i choosed was called Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and they had a lot of interesting things. One of the things they had was the world's biggest collection of works by an artist called Piet Mondriaan. By the time I was done I was really hungry, so i decided to go to a vegetarian restaurant. The restaurant was called Veggies on Fire and they had the best vegan schnitzel I've ever tasted. But when I was done eating the realization hit me, i had to a flight to catch. The nearest airport was the Rotterdam The Hague Airport so when I went there to book a flight I noticed that it was quite expensive. I quickly looked up the price from another airport in Amsterdam. The airport is called Schiphol and it's actually the largest airport in Europe. The price-difference were quite big, the one in Rotterdam costs about 170 dollars and the one in Amsterdam - 91 dollars. So I chosed the one in Amsterdam, I know it's really unnecessary since i recently were there but it's cheaper. I took the same bus trip as before and when I had gotten to the airport I booked my flight. It was nice being here again, I sort of missed it. The flight took about 4 hours and 50 minutes with a stop in Leipzig for 1 hour. When I finally landed in Paris I was so excited. I had always dreamed about going here and seeing the Eiffel tower. Before exiting the airport I headed to the restroom and when i stepped inside one of the booth's I couldn't believe what i saw. There was a 100 dollar bill on the floor. Before picking it up I looked in the other booth's to find the one who lost it. When I had looked everywhere without finding someone I decided to keep it myself since the money didn't do any good by just laying there. When I was done I walked out from the airport. The weather was quite the same compared to The Netherlands. The first thing i decided to do was to visit the famous Eiffel tower. I called for a taxi and went there. I bought a ticket for 62 dollars that included a small-group tour since you had to buy a ticket to visit the tower. Because it had a tour included we could skip the line. The tour was great and I really enjoyed the view. You could see the sun go down, which then reminded me that i hadn't booked a hotel yet. When the tour was done I got on my phone to look for a hotel. I thought of the 100 dollar bill I found at the airport earlier, that was a lot of money. I decided to spend the money on a hotel. I found a 4-star hotel near the Eiffel tower, called Hôtel Le Sénat. The price was at 223 dollar for 1 night and that did not include breakfast. I went there and paid for the room, after that I took the elevator up the stairs to the room. I was suprised by how big it was, and classy. It was a queen bed so the first thing I did was of course to lay on it. It may have been the most comfortable bed i've ever laid on and it didn't take long before I had fallen asleep.
