I woke up this morning when Darren told me he was heading to the hospital for an ear ache. And as soon as he woke me up I found I had it too! World of pain. So we went to walk to the hospital together, and had to ask a lady for directions, who told us about a doctor service that visits you in your hotel, so we went back and asked about that. I think it wasn't available because it was a Sunday, but I also think the guy at reception didn't know what we were talking...

We had a bit of a sleep in today before getting up and walking down to a metro station that I discovered was much closer to the hostel, Anvers. We got the train to Charles de Gaulle and got on the escalator to exit, and as we were riding to the top, the Arc de Triomphe came up into view. It's pretty impressive. A giant archway in the middle of a massively crazy roundabout. We had a look at it for a bit and got some photos, then turned around and went for a walk d...

We got up very early this morning, packed our bags and walked down to the tram stop. The tram I was looking for didn't go from there so we walked down a few blocks and found the right one. We got another connecting tram to get to the Amstel train station, and both trams had ticket inspectors who didn't check our tickets! Awesome. We got there and went to the Eurolines office to check in, and was told that Darren wasn't allowed to bring his guitar! Whaaa? So we ta...

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. It's been so long since I've ridden a bike I was a little worried I'd make a fool of myself, but after a wobbly start I got into the swing of it again...
