Hotel de Vassy Egmond aan Zee

... me something and I could pay him later. Wow. One of those "We're not in Kansas anymore" moments. Unfortunately he didn't have diapers. So he suggested that maybe the drugstore down the street might take credit cards and have diapers. They did and they did. Problem one solved. Headed back to apartment and tried in vain to use my cell to call Jacintha and she happened to call me right then to tell me she was ...

... Monet, Manet, Rembrandt, Picasso, Mondrian, and Gaughin (just to name a few) paintings in person. Took a canal tour which was beautiful. Also went to the Sex museum with my Mom, a little awkward, couldn't bring myself to get a picture with the giant penis. Damn it all! I really liked Amsterdam, it is a beautiful city and quite easy to navigate.

... to see a lot of the castle or town today, but after dinner, Vanessa and I and a bunch of others decided to wander through town. We wound up at the Cafe Vink, where we all had our first legal drinks in Europe. And don't worry, we didn't get trashed. In fact, its 9:00 pm and we are home because we are absolutely exhausted! The next few days will be busy and exciting, and I can'y wait to see what's in store!!!

... he did get a wink from one of the girls, so that made his night, I'm sure.. Either that or the peepshow we saw.. haha.. nah, the girl dancing around wasn't exactly a looker. Oh, on the way back to the car, we saw a couple of the girls trying to entice a guy from a group in for a 'service'. The girls go to them "we won't tell you wife..." In the end, the guys weren't convinced, so they walked off.. it was pretty entertaining to watch, nevertheless!

... the city at night too. But once the sun set in Amsterdam and it got dark outside, I felt very uncomfortable. The only people that were really walking around were large groups of guys. Had I known this (or if Steve had known this) he never would have let me go out alone. A lesson learned for next time I suppose. In summary, Amsterdam is a beautiful city and Steve and I will go back if we get the chance. We would have enjoyed the trip so much more if it wasn't as cold as was ...

... amuse my friends. After dinner I felt far too stoned to do anything else, so Joe and I went back to the hostel and slept whilst Nick and Aravind stayed out for a short while longer. On the second day we started by heading off to another coffee shop. It was a nice place which had chess and checkers boards; I enjoyed wiping the floor with Joe. There was a severe thunder storm outside which made the whole place quite atmospheric. I went ...

... he was a little put out that he didn't receive a tip for being a rude *******, to which Andrew replied that he didn't have my wallet, walked outside and then across the road with us down the road while the manager yelled at us frm the shop. I think the words were something sarcastic like 'Thank you very much, sir' although it could have been 'That is an offence, sir' and he may have walked inside to call the cops. Yeah right ...

... They were only talking but did not stop until 2am when I yelled at them from out of the bedroom window. We did go out for a drive in our power steeringless Corolla to find the beach at Castricum aan Zee but were thwarted by the thousands of people making their own way to the sands on foot or on bike. We were an oddity because there was very little space to park a car. The foreshore was edged by a line of dunes which we could see from a distance as we ...

... some should have the curtain closed). It's a weird feeling walking w/ two girls now on the streets instead of Tom. The guys all stare, especially in the area we were in. But anyhow, at least I'm not here alone nor did I have to leave. And we'll have a great time. Only thing, can't find my Mastercard. I'm a little worried but I'll call Mom to cancel it tomorrow.
