Amsterdam...

Well well,

It seems that I'm travelling through these cities quite quickly, sometimes feels a bit too quick but never the less its good times all round so not complaining. Right now I'm in Amsterdam, my last day here before I jet off up to Helsinki, Finland.

Ok well this place is one crazy city, everyone here is here for one reason, to have fun! First day I got here was pretty relaxed, basically just chilled out and walked around the city taking in the atmosphere and getting my bearings for things. At night went for a walk with a couple of Brazillian guys got something to eat and checked out some ho's in the windows!

My 2nd day here started with a free walking tour of the city where I got talking to an Aussie guy from Melbourne who has his own band (Marty). The walking tour was excellent, showed us pretty much everything we needed to see and maybe some stuff we didn't really want to see... After the tour a few of us stuck together and went for a drink together. Marty gave me a CD with some tracks from his band, listening to it right now actually and its pretty good!

Next day I caught up with Marty and didnt really get up to much, watched some buskers in the main square, grabbed a bite to eat and sat down with a few beers before deciding we'd go on the pub crawl later that night. We met up at the first bar on the pub crawl and started the long night ahead. After shooting through bar after bar, shot after shot and beer after beer the night was finally over, or so I thought. On my way out of the last club a couple of blokes decided that it would be a good idea to f&*# around with me, they were getting pretty full on and ended up chasing me down the road. I escaped into a bar and then headed home to the hostel. Pretty full on night, definately worthwhile!

2nd last day brought a hangover and I pretty much just lazed around in the sun. Funnily enough I bumped into Marty on the street and we decided that we'd go on the Red Light Tour... This one was pretty good also, showing us where all the pro's are and how they operate their "skin trade". Pretty interesting and well thought out. After the tour the tour group all went to the bar and drank. Was a really good night where a few of us continued on and on...

Ok so now its my last day here in Amsterdam, I've got nothing more I'd like to see so I'm just chilling out today, my flight to Helsinki is at 7pm so a while to go yet. Not looking forward to tonights accommodation choice, an airport chair...

Thats all folks, signing out, Amsterdam...
