Malie Utrecht

... to accommodate the top box was another matter. We had three attempts before we located a suitable parking space, and then we walked another couple of miles in search of the Intensive Care Unit. Finally, after negotiating the maze of deserted corridors, we located a ward with all the doctors and nurses sitting down having coffee. I said we were looking for my uncle and they pointed to the first bed, less than six ...

... road....but once we reach the river the scenery changes,,,, the old centre of Utrecht is delightful - the medieval canals and wharves run through the centre and you can walk right down on the water edge if you don't mind sprinting the steps every few hundred yards or so....as its a national religious holiday the streets are sleepy, but students still fill the bars and coffee shops....giving it a relaxed buzz...

The next day I say ...

... the too high number of people in the Netherlands, we criticise everything. In fact it is often complaining more than just being critical. We like to complain. We like to complain but at the same time optimism is the great quality to be strived for. Being all too pessimistic about things makes you a bit of a loser in Dutch eyes. We're down to earth and practical. Things should be realistic, possible, preferably within the rules ...

... at the same time because they would taste awful together, he handed me the mojito, so that was cool. We left the bar around 12:30AM and it was STILL light out. Totally messes with the system!!! And probably not the smartest when you need to be up at 4:30AM. (It was still light out when I got up.) I get back to my hostel only to just then realize that my provided pillow is feather, which I am allergic to ...

For our first trip to another continent we decided to go to Europe.After we decided that we were going to go for 10 nights we picked 2 different countries we wanted to visit during our vacation.We decided on Amsterdam to be our first stop then on to London.We flew from Port Columbus to the JFK airport onto London before our final stop to Amsterdam.Our flight wasn't too bad except for we almost didn't make it to JFK due to East coast weather ...

... for this, alot get stolen so if you had a nice new bike, well you wouldn't for long anyway. Instead of a Multi level car park at Central Station there is a multilevel Bike park. its too funny The famous Red Light district sounds like it would be such a seedy place but it really isn't. The main strip goes along the canal and besides all the shops and 'Businesses' that line the street its quite a ...

... Anyhow, Lisa & I wandered the crazy streets after dinner and checked out the residential streets and the Red Light District. Ay ya, wow, those women are supposed to be dressed sexy, right? Ah well, the scary shiny bathing suits and nipple tassles must work for them. I chatted briefly with Luke again before deciding to head to the bar. Oh, I miss him, and his voice made me homesick again but ...

... we were walking everywhere - possibly in our desperate attempt to kill time. However, if you have not been to Amsterdam before, please be prepared that within a course of 2-3 days you will surely get hit by either a bike (most likely), a tram (very high chance) or a car (least likely). The city is very quite but in some obscure way it is completely manic. I am a cyclist (in London) and I am now scared of cyclists. It seemed to us that in ...

Nog 1 maand te gaan..

Eergisteren was het 18 november.

Ik moet wel eerlijk zeggen dat ik gewoon heel blij ben dat hij 'doorgaat'; de reis, de vakantie!! Het is helaas zo dat wanneer je een reis boekt, hoever ook van tevoren; bij onvoldoende deelnemers gaat hij niet door. Dit weet je ook wel, dit staat ook overal maar toch je stelt je er op in dat hij doorgaat en je treft de voorbereidingen. Echter helaas was dit het geval bij Shoestring; de reisorganisatie ...
