So on this particular day we had crossiants for brekkie in France, Belgian chocolates for lunch and Danish beer for dinner in the Netherlands - anyone owuld think we were on an eating tour of Europe! It was sooooo nice to have our first hot shower and wash our clothes at Troys house. On the last day we drove out to a flowrider and the boys surfe...

December 18, 2007 Amsterdam - The Lady in Red When Steve and first talked about going to Amsterdam, we discussed certain things that we wanted to see. Since we had heard so much about the "Red Light District", we decided that this was one area of the city we wanted to see most. For whatever reason, my idea of what the "Red Light District" was en...

We have now stayed two nights in the famous (or is it infamous) Amsterdam! Everything you have heard about this city: true... And that's all I will say about that. We have done a lot of wandering around and took a tour yesterday. Between the tour and a Historic Museum we went to we have learned that Amsterdam used to be a huge trading port! The ...

Hi Again from rainy stormy and freezing cold Amsterdam. Today has been really fun, and we did a ton of stuff, but the weather is absolutley horrible. It is FREEZING cold, like 50's, really really windy and poured non-stop all day. The half hour line outside the Anne Frank house seemed a lot longer than it actually was, but it was definately wort...

Yesterday walking through the Red light district l have never felt so disturbed walking through a place (exception being Dachau concentration camp)- it made me almost sick. After only just finishing reading Jacquie Pullingers "Chasing The Dragon," last week in which she descr...

Hi everybody! It's time, once again, for Queen's Day in the Netherlands. This year it was cool and threatening rain, but we got lucky and only had cool temperatures with the sun making occasional appearances. We had friends visiting from Italy (Serena and Alessandro) for the weekend and some of Melanie's colleagues (Mike and Louise -with whom we...

Our [first] stay in Amsterdam was quite brief, only 1.5 days. However, we did a lot of walking around the city centre. Our day started off by going to the Sex Museum which provided a lot of food for thought to say the least and some images we both wish we had not seen. The museum even had umm, photos, from a private collection dating as far back...

We woke up early and headed out to sea. We had to time our departure well due to the locks we had to pass through which are dependent on the tides. We sat around for a while and then off we went. During this dead time, our captain had a "serious" talk with one of our mates. It went something like this: "I know what kinds of souvenirs you guys bo...
