DYKES, DYKES & MORE DYKES!

Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, well what fun I had in deed! I
go here about 2pm! nice train in from the airport! I am starting to like
these trains. Settled into my hotel, after 7 room moves! Shezzzzzeee, I
could not get one that had a analog dataport connection! but I sorted it!
mmmmm had to raise my voice a little, just a touch, but I got what I wanted.
Then off I went! walking walking walking! oh oh oh oh I just love those
buildings! like all different and smack bang built into each other! You can
understand that The Netherlands is on a swamp! "The Dutch say that God
Created the rest of the world and They created The Netherlands!" And those
cute little buildings lop sided falling into the dykes! but wow! How pretty!
Now that evening, first nite I was by myslef I flipped out a little! I was
sitting in my hotel room @ 1.40am! I could not sleep! I am not very good
travelling alone! I didn't know how I would cope! Knowing me I would just
end up going home if I get bored! I think I am doing better now thou! I was
tired I think!!!! I called a mate mate in sydney and had a good chat - so
after that I was ok! Off to sleep I went. I had a pancake the next day!
mmmmmmm was a little different from what I was expecting, but yummy! I took
off to the Van Gogh Museum. This specially built Museum holds the largest
collection of Van Gogh's that any where in the World! I did the audio tour!
It was great! There was also a great photographix exihbition on the history
of the USA! now that was very kewl! to see all the old photos taken over
time! I had a nibble for lunch and then off walking & walking & walking &
walking & walking & walking & walking through the windy streets and by
canals! Bloody Hell you betta watch out for those bloody bikes! Fuck! I
almost lost my entire Nine Lives just walking & walking & walking &
walking - I never was good looking left and right!! Shhhheze!! I decided to
pass on the Amsterdam Roll it, Light it, and smoke it coffee shops - mind
you the Chocolate Creamy Hash Milkshake did look nice! Almost tempted! NOT!
but I do know why they maybe legalised it! They don't drive!!! No one to
kill!! Hard to do damage with a bike!! lol Then went to the Anne Frank
Museum! - Imagine being in a loft for 4 years during the Nazi occupation of
Amsterdam, As a australian I have no comprehension of what people wnet
through, history always amazes me. This little girl who wanted to be a
Journilst, was with 8 others (including here family) for four years in the
loft, She wrote a diary. Was very touching. Off walking & walking &
walking & walking & walking - saw a cute Cyber hairdressing Salon, where you
could get you hair cut and surf the net at the same time! not sure how that
would work? Dad had a hard enough time cutting my hair at the salon with me
fidgeting, God how would you do it typeing and surfing!!! But interesting!
Saw lots of interesting fixtures and fittings and stuff. I loved that they
had all the tulips and bulbs! I would go crazy if it was in sydney! Well im
off again! On a train to Brussels, Belgium, till next train trip and
monolog!! love tim
