Afternoon folks!
We are in an internet cafe in Amsterdam's central square. The keyboard is really crappy and annoying! We slept in nice and late this morning. Our hostel is a bit of a caravan type place about 30mins ride from town. It's pretty good there, everyone is nice and chilled out. We got into the city about 1pm ish..and have wondered around most main areas. It's quite crowded everywhere, and there are heaps of shops-mainly clothes and shoes. Oh and of course there are quite a few coffeeshops. We have sampled the 'culture' in one of these coffee places already :)
There are also lots of sex shops and gay specialty shops, so they are quite liberal here. At the same time there seem to be a lot of business people and families, so the town isn't quite the smoke filled hole that many people perceive it just to be.
Well we don't have much else to report as we haven't really done much yet. There aren't many sights here, just heaps of (at least 10) museums, shops, and murky canals.
So until next time...bam.
Ok hi guys, we have some photos to add now.
1. Scraggles resting on our bed in our caravan - we stayed in a caravan park near a lake which was a train + bus ride from the city.
2. A building in 'The Diamond' in Amsterdam - the main square type place with seats and stuff, like King George Square in Brisvagas.
3. In the diamond also
4. Some culture...
5. The canals...just to prove kez was there...and about 20metres away some guy was throwing up like there was a hose in his throat. *shudder*
6. Us in a nice dark British pub in central Amsterdam, relaxing at last. Dark pubs with good cheapish booze have honestly saved us from going bonkers on our trips. Bless dark pubs.
7. More canals..there are lots of them. All a nice watered-down chocolate colour. Yummy
