Amsterdam Oh My

Hey so its been a while since my last update and a few things have happened.

Dublin was a cool city and we hit up Christchurch which was apparently built in the 900's and that was cool. After that we went to the Guiness factory tour and I got a sweet rugby shirt. The thing Peter and I quickly found out about Ireland is that it is usually cold and usually rainy so needless to say that rugby shirt I got was a true Godsend. Another thing about Ireland which was cool was that people really do just start singining in the pubs and in the alleways after they've had themselves a right pint after work. Ireland was very cool.

Then we made our way to Amsterdam where once again we forgot to get the directions to our hostel before we left for airport. So we arrive in Schipol and we are wondering what they hell are we going to do now? We can't really just go to some random train spot and hope that someone will help us. After a tense half hour I find us an internet cafe and things are all good again, after a few gaskets had been blown between me and Peter in frustration.

So we finally get to Amsterdam and oh my is it different. Our hostel is like 2 blocks from the red light district. In the district it is true the hookers are litterally at the window trying to look as attractive as possible and no lies some of them are quite pretty. Also the notorious coffee shops are as advertised. You just walk in and chill out.... or so I hear....

The city itself is built in a giant U shape so getting around isn't so bad. Its all interlaced by canals and is very pretty and a nice change of pace. Today we are going to a few museums to see some Monet and some other cool paintings and having a nice relaxing day. Thats the thing we learn as we travel more and more. Traveling needs to be more for yourself than cramming in every site in a hectic itinerary where your experience is lessened by the stress placed on yourself.

Well thats all for now.
