I think the only person who knew i was going was Dave47tuc, but here i am reporting on my first few days in Europe. I am currently staying with a good friend in Amsterdam and having a great time exploring in and around this beautiful city.
I arrived last thursday and we spent Saturday looking around the city, taking a canal cruise and even managed some of the sights of the red light district
I was being good though
On Sunday went to The Hague (which is actually a city), went to a place called madurodam, which is an amazing theme park of Holland in miniature, and ended up at Scheveningen beach a short distance away.
Yesterday I went to Rijksmusuem, which is a musuem of mostly 17th century art of the Dutch masters. I have never been a person interested in art, but its really something to see so many totally amazing rare and famous pieces so close that you can touch them. They wouldnt let me take any photographs though
Later today I plan to visit the Verzetsmusuem, which displays the history of the Dutch resistance in WWII, which should be another fascinating outing
Next Monday we are off to london for 3 days, then to Rome, Paris and Brussels before returning back to base in Amsterdam.
Heres a few piccies.
