Thursday 9th - Amsterdam
Struggled to find the hostel I had called as it appeared not to exist, found another popular hostel near the Leidsplein. Shared a room with some very hungover Irish boys, went to the irish pub for a feed with them, then headed into central station to meet Jayde, went to Coco's Outback a great Aussie pub and restaurant serving awesome food in huge portions for dinner. Eating lots to keep out the cold, this place is so bloody flat there's not a lot to stop the wind!!
Friday got myself an I AMsterdam card to get into the museums etc
Went to the Van Gogh musuem, Canal boat tour, Modern art museum etc etc
Met up with Jayde when he finished work and caught train with him and flatmate Janick back to their place in Castricum 20 min from Amsterdam. Jayde has given me his bed while he stays at his girlfriend's.
Saturday 11th - Amsterdam
Headed back into town to see Rijksmuseum, Windmill and Oulde Kerk (Church).
Sunday 12th slept and watched movies and ate Indonesian (Chinese)
Monday Janick took a day off work and we headed into Amsterdam for some sightseeing, Museumsplein, Dam Square, 2m wide house and went to the movies to see Borat, very very funny, overall a great day.
Tuesday finally got myself sorted to get north and meet up with friends there.
Wednesday caught the train to Groningen 2.5 hours 27euros what a rip!
House boats on one of the many canals.
Very easy to walk past and miss it!
