Golden Tulip Zandvoort

... sex shows in the world. There were eight shows which lasted altogether about an hour. Well you can imagine, we were sucking out free cock lollies as we watched, and it wasn't all that crash hot. The same couples go all night, how fake can it get? Oh and you do see absolutely everything. The other Aussies in the audience were entertaining though- typical.
Oh if you ever do come to Amsterdam, you need to ...

... was a really nice and relaxing way to end the day, and a great way to see the city as well. For our evening festivities we ventured to the Red Light District. The Prostitutes in the windows looked more bored than anything else...either sitting there texting on their phones or going for the sexy librarian look and reading a book. I have never seen so many sex shops in my entire life. Also...coffeeshops...aka where they sell legal hash/cannabis/pot/ marajuana...whatever you ...

... you can walk the entire city in 30min) until dinner time. That night I think we all sleep with one eye open, as well as in my jeans and jacket, with my hood up so my hair wouldn't touch the pillow (the sheets were clean, we saw them change them in front of us, but I wasn't taking any chances. The next day we did some more walking around town before going to the famous "Pancake Bakery" for lunch. In the Netherlands, pancakes are very popular, they are different ...

... early, at 6:00 because he took a cab from the train station. He is sick, with a possible stomach bug and looked like hell. He is already in bed, hoping he feels better for his last day of teaching. For dinner, I offered to go pick up something at the falafel place on the main street, because I have always wanted to try falafel. Ben was in bed, so Russ was up for watching the two girls. I didn't bring my camera ...

... ravioli and olive oil, and of course brussell sprouts. The market includes some artists and junk dealers and vintage things. There were a few artists making warm and cozy things out of recycled boiled wool. I bought a pair of really funky fingerless gloves. I need them today, its cold and rainy, colder than yesterday. I'm hearing circus music. I love this city

... things. Now we are packing to go to Berlin and begin again, I enjoyed Amsterdam and I think we spent just enough time here to get feel for the city. Jenny says: Well my flight wasn't as exciting as Colin's, but I made it here safe and sound and was just picking up my backpack when Colin came around the corner. Success! Two Corkums, two bags. Our first day consisted of getting acquainted with the city via a canal tour, walking ...

... morning with no place to stay, no food, and no idea where we were going. We took an above ground train to a stop not far from downtown and right where we got off was an AO hostel that we are staying at now. We are getting some laundry done this morning and it is off to try and see whats left of the Berlin wall and other historic sights this afternoon. Hope eveyone is doing well and we are always thinking about ya. Signing off from Berlin, R & J

... you want. All this for 8.00EUR. Take it home, bung it all in the wok for 15 minutes then enjoy between four people. It was high quality eating made easy and affordable. I wish we could get such innovative supermarkets back home. While walking around one day we decided to sit down and have a rest. Suddenly an argument broke out between to elderly men. It nearly ended in a fistfight, but the bicycle police came along and put an end to it. During the kafuffle, a Rasta man ...

Our flight from Amsterdam arrived a little late in Stavanger at 2:25 PM. There was no immigration, passport control and only a quick walk through customs. Ragnar Schroeder was there waiting for us. I recognized him through his MySpace photo. He was affable, helpful and we quickly because positively acquainted. He does not have a car, so we took a half hour city bus back to his apartment. We were still uncertain about where ...

... Hardly noticed the hangover. Well, at least, WE didn't. Went onto o see La Sagrada Familia, a true masterpiece (or an ode to dropping acid while designing stuff- you choose). Matt almost had the pants scared off him by a living statue; he literally screamed like a girl and had everyone, including the police, laugh at him. The day quickly turned into a culinary tour of the city as we seemed to get hungry every hour or so and there's tapas joints ...
