When we woke up this morning we got on a tram and went in to Dam Square where we got some cash out, grabbed something to smoke and headed to the train station. We bought some tickets and got on a train to Amersfoort, then to Apeldoorf where we got a bus to the Apenheul primate park. I got some fries and we had a smoke before going in. We had been very highly recommended going to see wildlife while stoned... So we walked up to the entrance, and by that time the ma...

We woke up this morning and walked down to the Mikes Bikes office where we met the tour group. We got a mini history lesson and safety information at the start from one of the guides then we were split into two groups for the actual tour. We went out and picked a bike and lined up on the pavement ready to ride out.

We got up and walked down to the Mikes Bikes Tours office, where we booked our tour for the next day, before walking down to Dam Square in the city centre.

It was like a mexican/steak house, and the boys ordered steak and I got fajitas. We had a good chat to the guy there, Eddie, as well as one of the other workers, who had a lot to say about politics, and Amsterdam in ...

We woke up very early this morning, packed and checked out, and walked down to the bus stop. We were catching the bus back to the bus station, but missed the stop because he stopped on the opposite side to yesterday so I didn't recognize it! So I pressed the buzzer to get off at the next one, and when he stopped at a light, I asked if we could jump off there! He looked a little confused, but understood me after a bit and opened the doors for us! He must have real...
