Amshterdam Day one!
April 3, 2009 5:19 pmSo Megan and I got up nice and early this fine friday AM and headed for Edinburgh airport, where after a nice scottish fried breakfast + kopparberg we were on our way to the dam!!
We Arrived nice and early and got a train from Schipol airport to Central station, the weather was absolutely amaaazing!!! Lovely sunny day, clear blue skies and the temperature hitting 20+!!!
From central station after telling the first taxi driver to politely fook off, we got another taxi driver who wasn't trying to rip us off and take us to our hotel!
We pulled up to the hotel quite tired and after checking in headed up to our room....WOW what a room, its actually amazing!!! such a bright and airy room, high ceilings, comfy bed, all white / black furniture... We started checking the room out wondering where the toilet was etc....in a cupboard that was cool but where is the shower...we found that the shower is in fact behind a partition which you fold out and cuts the room in half, its amaaaazing!!! such a good idea.
We then checked out our KLM // Lloyd hotel goody bag and there is some strange design cup, flyers and our travel pass...After chilling out and unpacking we headed back in to the centre on the Number 10 tram....wrong tram lol, we ended up getting off and had an amazing walk through the small streets of amsterdam until we found somewhere we knew on the map... Madam Tussauds, had a spy in the window at "jennifer lopez" looked nothing like her!! lol, so we gave the waxworks a miss and continued walking, we were then in Dam Square where they are currently putting some gypsy shows and there is this mental one that goes soooo high...no fecking chance will I be going on that!!!
Done a little more walking, down a side lane smelt the coffee shops and continued on, some more walking and we finally found a nice wee cafe to get some much needed grub!!
Once the tanks were refilled we headed off for the sex museum, actually funny as hell place, can't really explain it but it made us giggle like wee kids!!! I loved the bit megan shit herself when the filthy sailor pissed at her and she shit herself...then after knowing what happened went back for more and shit herself the same amount...haha i love her!!
Done some more walking then went on a nice wee canal boat trip for an hour taking in sights of the dam...some healthy annoying chinese group were on our boat and are so rude!!! didn't like them one bit!!
After that we walked a wee bitty more and got a tram back to the hotel from central station....it was the correct one this time!! god knows where we would of ended up if we continued on tram numero 10!!
Got some munchies from the shop across the road, had a shower now im typing this whilst listening to fiddy cent!
Gonna go get some foods in a wee bit, or we may fall asleep first...who knows!!!
Hope tomorrow is as awesome as today!!!
