Hotel De Kust Zandvoort

... many Van Gogh paintings I knew. There was a special exhibit there so we got to see Starry Night which was pretty cool. Once we finished with the museum I got my souvenirs and we hung out in the park to wait for Dan. Then we headed to Vondel Park. It was huge and beautiful, but half of it was fenced off so we didn't get to enjoy all of it. Next we headed to an old brewery which ...

... a sea sickness tablet which did help but the herbal pills kept me awake quite a while and I also had to pee quite a lot. I only remember Shane peeing once but I traipsed up to the tiny toilets often that night and also thought the soggy end of the hall meant we were sinking. When I woke up it was a gorgeous blue sky and fresh bright sun and I looked happily out our little manhole/window thing. Then we packed up and had to carry everything to the train and I wasn't so happy.

... Amazon.    The wines served during the flight were great but the food was mediocre. British Airways can certainly learn a thing or two from Qantas if they ever hook up! Two movies, lots of champagne and wine ;-) , several hours of sleep and a drab English breakfast later, I arrived in the circus that is London's Heathrow airport.    The brand new Terminal Five is huge and shiny but to me, it really resembles a massive state-of-the-art cattle station. OMG factor: 1 ...

... like a swap meet. What is also in the area are a ton of Indonesian food stops, we stopped and ate a big plate! We were told Indo food is like our Mexican food it's cheap and everywhere! The rest of the day Scott and I continued to get lost looking for things it seems to be a harder city to navigate through than the others. We didn't seem to mind so much, the weather was nice and the view was always new and beautiful. That night ...

... zijn met aanwijzingen. Dús raakt W subiet een paaltje. Alles lijkt nog heel, maar onze fietsen zwabberen wel wat vervaarlijk. Bij de receptie gaat W aan het fietsenrek sleutelen, gelukkig is er niets echt kapot. T betaalt, de lieve receptiedame wenst ons nog "Gute Fahrt", en dan op naar de Plus. Mét een eigenaardig klinkende uitlaat. Hm. Parkeerplaats Plus: geluid is stukken minder (doet ie eigenlijk wel vaker, soort ochtendhoestje), maar er lekt olie. Het drupt gestaag en ...

... beach run..... top speed. She was pretty tired at that point so she was content to sit with us and watch the people. The next day we were heading home. Before going we walked over to the dunes for one last run. Lily met lots of other dogs and had a good chase with a big white Sheppard. The drive back was nice and it was warm enough to sit outside on the ferry back. It was ...

... Ty and I were way too jetlagged to do anything though. Woke up multiple times in the night feeling like we needed to get out and do something, must be the body clock telling us it's 8pm when it's 4am here. Crazy lady at our new hostel (The Bulldog) is very intimidating (for me at least). She wanted photo id but I only have my passport (should have brought my drivers license, you were right dad), but I refuse to let it ...

... went in and had some of the best pancakes the three of us have ever had! Filled the spot. We walked back through Dam Square - thankfully the rain had stopped so we were able to take some video footage of the amazing sqaure. We arrived back at the hotel just as the rain started again. So we sat in the pub and played some board games. We were going to go out to an area called Jordaan for dinner - but once again it was raining and we were sick of getting Taxis everywhere ...

... 5 minutes from our boat, in a place we have not walked to yet... Oy! We'll be having breakfast, lunch and dinner on the boat in order to save our money for the next leg of our trip! Right now, we're enjoying tea and will be getting ready to go out soon. Please take a look at the pictures. We'll be doing more touristy things in the days to come (museums, canal cruise, Heinken experience, and such). Take care everyone and TTYS! Loves, Chris and Rob XOXOXOXO
