Entry 2 of 71 | show all | print this entry

So, it's nearly time to leave for Mexico and after the chaos of this week I finally have a chance to reflect on what has just been. 
On Thursday we had a great evening in Alkmaar, forty minutes north of Amsterdam by train, visiting Mish's friends. Frank and Steph took us out to a lovely Greek restaurant where we had a fantastic meal. That was followed by white beer, white beer and more white beer. If there is one thing I'll miss more than anything else in Holland it's their beer. It really does put our lager to shame.
On Friday I said goodbye to Mish and headed to the airport where I met up with the lads coming over for Steve's stag party. I know I'm not alone when I say we all had a fantastic weekend. Steve came out the other side unscathed and I think he really enjoyed the whole experience. We all spent too much money and drank too much beer but we all came away with some great memories. My favorite was standing outside a pub and watching this guy receive a huge applause from around 40 people as he slipped into the door of a hooker. He suddenly appeared again 30 seconds later and was met by a torrent of boo's from all the people outside the pub. His face was a picture as he looked up and realized that he was the cause of all the noise and his legs couldn't carry him off fast enough. What made it even funnier was the fact that his mate, who had been waiting outside for him, was laughing his ass off too.
Tomorrow we fly to Mexico. Today we need to sort ourselves out. I can't wait for a bit of sun, I'm tired of the rain. Over and out XXX


Where I stayed:
Mish's parents
