Amsterdam-Inn B&B

... 3 beers along the tour. There was even a simulated show that made you feel like you were inside the bottle. My friend Karolina and I even got to send videos of ourselves to our mom's singing dutch! I will post the link as soon as I can get it! It was pretty hilarious. We then left the Brewery and headed for something a little different, the Van Gogh museum. This was a very cool experience, very amazing to be in the presence of someone that artistic. We all left a little ...

... own traffic lanes, traffic lights, and traffic cops (giving out tickets too). Nobody wears a helmet, doubling is commonplace (and with variety... side-saddle, straddle, or handle-bar), and kids either ride in a jumps seat on the front or back, or in a special cart attached to the front wheel. I didn't see anyone smoking while riding (like in Quebec) but we did see many people talking on their cell phones while biking. It is quite amazing ...

Hoe het allemaal begon?
Het begon ermee dat ik op facebook las hoe een andere Brucefan droomde over de aangeondigde Detroit show. Kinderachtig jaloers reageerde ik met een: "ja, droom maar fijn. Na 2 augustus is het voor mij echt voorbij". En voor ik het wist, las ik zijn antwoord: "Kom maar langs, mijn vriendin en ik nemen je graag mee naar de show. Open invitatie ...

... in Dubai about one hour later. I didn’t know for a long time where I was exactly and the people I asked didn’t really know the address of the youth hostel in Dubai. But after about an hour and a half of walking around with only a gut feeling of where I was headed and walking on highways and through construction sites I found the youth hostel. This youth hostel turned out to be a youth hostel with the unfriendliest staff I have ever encountered. Very rude and very ...

... Williams and Friends were playing at the Bourbon Street Blues Bar-Paul William? From Alberta? I think. Couldn't get down to see him though (see, partying in hostel, above.) Sometimes it's just really hard to move. A couple of days later I revisited the Van Gogh Museum, along with hundreds of others who were willing to fork over 12.50 Euro for the pleasure. I don't really remember it from last time but I know I was there. I would have liked to ...

... Anne Frank house and perhaps the Heineken Brewery, if it is open. Matt Dell left us today to travel to Greece for a class trip. He originally planned to leave from Prague but we convinced him to come along to Berlin and Amsterdam. We are looking forward to staying in his flat in London, though he won't be there to show us around. We leave tomorrow afternoon for Paris, where we will spend two nights and then on to London, our final European destination! See you soon!

... a packed coffee shop. The two frenchy's were a great laugh but with the travelling and walking id done throughout the day i though it was a good idea to get my head down for the following day. The group of spaniards i was sharing the room with were cool and we even had a game of poker before we went to sleep. All in all my first full day in Amsterdam has been good.The building's ...

... a large breakfast included with the hotel (I had to get my money’s worth!) At 9:00 I check out and meet Angela at the train station. She has printed out a map of how to get to the next cemetery and we find it without too much trouble. Just north of Groesbeek, Netherlands is the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery. The cold the night before had caused frost to cover the ground and as the sun rises to a beautiful fall day this hilltop cemetery looks quite ...

... right by the hostel which had its own distilling machine, with brass pipes leading to the bar across the ceiling it was quite a beautiful sight, unfortunately it felt a bit late to sample the beer... All round a good day in the end, if a little stressful at times, but I went to bed knowing that I can indeed say 'no' to drugs, having been offered ecstacy in the street after leaving the restaurant... first time in 22 years that i've been offered drugs, how exciting!
