... It was about 9pm when we got to Harwich, and so foggy. We made our way to the ship terminal and checked in. Shortly after that we were let on board - it was basically a huge cruise ship! We weren't expecting this, we had our own decent-sized room with a full bathroom. We went down to the ship bar for a bit, but we were both pretty tired. Today (Saturday) we were woken up at 6:45 Dutch time and landed in Hoek van Holland, took a train to Rotterdam and then ...

... sanest city I've ever been in. San Francisco, still my favorite city in the world, has a massive homeless population. Curious about where the Dutch homeless sleep, I started asking around about practices towards homeless people. If you're sleeping on the streets, the police will pick you up and take you to a shelter. You're guaranteed state bedding for 20 nights a month, and charities cover the remainder. So there's not a lot of huddling in ...

... shifts, at around 140-180€ depending on location etc. Behind each window is a room with a bed and a clock, and the girls hire themselves out for 15mins at a time, with the basic going rate at about 30€. Within an 8 hour shift, most girls only work about 3 - 4 hours, the rest of the time they spend standing in their windows, usually on their phones, simply advertising themselves. Any time anyone is interested, they negotiate a price and then she tells him to come ...

... sin querer en un boliche sadomasoquista, jaja. Igual no pensaba arriesgarme a entrar a ninguno... Ví a las famosas chicas en las vidrieras, cual zoológico, exhibidas por categorías y por zonas, muy loco. Un recreo a mi vida tan artistica y un poco de realidad cultural, :P. El último día opté por ir a Brujas, ya tenía todo visto en Amsterdam, así que sólo volví a dormir y a hacer la valija nuevamente para partir rumbo a París!

... trying to get back ever since. In particular he was impressed by the hospitality of us Aussies. He and his girlfriend Maluse bought us a round and told us we were welcome to come visit them the next day along with the invitation to use their shower. Given that a shower and a shave was a few days overdue for Matty and myself (I'm too embarassed to say exactly how many) we were very grateful and exchanged phone numbers. The friendly couple left quite early and the ...

... in hopes of buying more time. Schmidt agreed top postphone the bombing. Unfortunately, before this news reached the bombing aircrafts, the bombing already started. Schmidt ordered red flares to indicate surrender, but it was too late. Around 800 people died and 78 000 people were homeless. Scharroo signed the surrender of Rotterdam after that. After the Rotterdam blitz, the Dutch army surrendered. But a battle in ...

... to take a toll on my body, and ever since wakeboarding, everything has been so sore, especially my back, so I wanted to just come back here, catch up on my emails and then stretch while watching a movie. Anyway, I'm happy to be here and with a friend.:) ... Dang it, I just wrote a whole email, and I hit some stupid key and lost it...so unfortunately this will be rather short. Left Zurich and traveld to Amsterdam where I ...

Tulips! I've devoted one entire entry to this ... because I spent half a day there ... It is the right time of the year to come to Keukenhof to catch the blooming of the tulips. It is the largest garden / exhibition of flowers in the world. The colours and arrangements are simply amazing ... I could not stop taking pictures ... the ones I have posted up here are ...

... niets bijzonders) en dan nog tijd voor een filmpje bij Mark en Hew thuis... Zondag nam ik enkele vrienden mee naar Utrecht, en Kadi uit Estland vroeg of ze met mij mee kon rijden naar Brussel. Maar eerst moest ik nog een bezoekje brengen aan vrienden in Zeist, wiens huwelijk ik helaas gemist had omdat ik in Valencia was. Het was fijn hun terug te zien na ongeveer 3 jaar.
