Amster damned if you do, damned if you don't…

I came to Amsterdam and completely fell of the grid. I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. It's been such a whirlwind week. I think my biggest mistake was going to a sex show the first night we arrived. I've spent the last four days mentally recovering.

It was my boyfriends birthday and we were in Amsterdam so we did what any self respecting couple would do…. got hammered, went to a sex show, a bar, a club then got really pissed off when it was 4am and we couldn't find anywhere to eat (surprising in A'dam, no?).

Day two was recovery. Then because I was so hungover during the day of BF's actual birthday, day three was 'do what BF wants to do' day. Which was skateboard. So day three was find BF somewhere to skate day.

DAY FOUR
Finally saw some stuff I wanted to see. Went to VONDELPARK for some R&R and then went to Anne Frank house. Moving stuff. 

Yesterday we went on a canal cruise which was boring as all hell and really over priced. But then we discovered the Albert Cuyp markets and had a great arvo shopping and eating waffles. We went to this great place called Bazar for dinner. It's an old church that has been transformed into a restaurant. Massive serves of delish Moroccon/Turkish food and cheap. That's want we want people.

Our train (or coach or hovercraft, I never really know until I get there cause the tickets are so bloody confusing) to Hamburg doesn't leave until 3pm so this morning we are gonna go for a little cycle around the city before we leave.

I'm still not sure about A'dam. I don't feel I have seen enough to really make a judgement. However, I was discussing with a fellow hostel dweller about ways to assess a new place and it's all about liveability really. For example, I love Vegas but it's not liveable. Amsterdam on the other hand seems like it would be a cool place to live. Although I'm not 100% on how much would actually get done.

Until Hamburg…
