Flag of Netherlands  , Noord-Holland,
Monday, August 18, 2003

After Paris, we could travel to no less than another capital, and the choice between the ordinary Bruxelles and the explosive Amsterdam took less than 0.0001 seconds.

Amsterdam, the european capital of fun. The first time you go to Amsterdam, it's all about coffe shops and hanging out with other people who are there to enjoy the crazy atmosphere (sorry, I don't find the other famous Amsterdam attraction, prostitution, so amusing). You'll have time to visit the museums and the city on your second visit. Having legal marjiuana available in every street is a natural boost to the social relations of everyone, and you will pass most of the time smoking something. Just remember that it's forbidden to smoke in the street, and that some street are not safe at all at night, so follow the common safety rules for travelers: don't walk alone at night, and be sober when you do that.

We stayed on a campsite outside the town, across the canal, so we had to take a (free) ferry to go downtown, with fares every 15 minutes. The crazy thing about the camping Vliegenboos was the toilettes: there where very bright blue lights that, mixed with eye-relaxig drugs you can legally use in Holland, cause a big shock every time you return to sunlight.

We also meet here our friends from Italy, who went directly here after Cote d'Azur, and the three english girls we already met in Paris. Unfortunately they where continuing to Prague, far beyond our possibility :)
