Amsterdam

i am in Amsterdam......................................................

Where shall I start... We made it to Amsterdam after a pleasant couple of daze in Berlin at a lovely little hostel run by a very amiable Kiwi bloke named Glen. After seeing virtually none of Berlin we were ready to see bugger all of Amsterdam after all we were in Amsterdam.

We stayed at a camping ground on an island about 4 klicks outside of the Centruum. The first item on our agenda was to see Amsterdam. So into the Hill Street Blues we went (a coffee shop that had been recommened), after a couple of Hoe´s and some Northern Lights we were ready to see some of Amsterdam. As the couples got motivated to do missions, Alex and I decided to do our own thing. This meant finding a map as they all left with the couples and then... back to the coffee shop...

One hour later with the walls closing in and a increasingly urgent need to get back to the campsite and out of public we staggered out of the coffee shop. As our decesion making capacity was seriously we admirably held our shit together long enough to decided that the Pet Shop Boys were full of it and that East was the direction for us.

As we travelled in such an obviously dignified manner we were some what surprised to be asked by some Sepos where to find the canal boats. After some to nonsensical gesticulation I was pleasantly surprised when she said that she should Go Round. To this I wholeheartedly agreed. On we were on our way again, After struggling through the burning sun knowing that every time we stopped we actually made it harder for ourselves we straightened up enough to get on a tram. (Yes, a tram these bastards are everywhere don`t let anyone ever tell you ever that Melbourne is special because we have trams. WE ARE NOT SPECIAL.)

Long story short we made it. Mission Accomplished.

We hired Bicycles. Possibly the best thing that we did in Amsterdam.

We went to some more coffee shops... We played 500...

The Beach

We went to the beach. It has fresh water????? There must have been 30 cranes around this beach. The beach was 50% sand and 50% dust by my reckoning. 90% of the girls were not wearing tops. I liked this beach. I listened to Bob Marley.

We went to some more coffee shops... We played 500...

Apparently there are museums and other such things in Amsterdam even lots of hookers. Unfortunately I did not see these things. Another time perhaps...

In Summary

Man, I liked Amsterdam, such a pretty city... pity about all the bloody Dutch though... Nah Nah they`re alright...Seriously...

Oh yeah and we went to this Beer shop with like 900 beers and glasses. Awesome. They had Coopers... but Pale was sold out :( so we brought Sparkling. True Story.
