WOw, Did this free walking tour of amsterdam today. And the dutch are cool. They built there whole town on creeks and ponds with stone and concrete supports. WOW. They have religion along with prostition mixed with tons of drugs. And somehow prosper. They are anti hard drugs and hadly have any junkies. Except for the 1000''s of college kids galavanting around the town. But really cool stuff. Tons of crooked buildings like 10-20 degree's off. Tons of history with the 80 year war with the spanish and the fact they sat back and supplied the weapons for the first world war. Okay continuing this blog from Antwerp. Had a lovely ladst night in Amsterdam. Got to Antwerp and the central station is massive and old and sweet. But we should go find our hostel: New ... read more

WOW! What a wild city. Love it when u can get a coffee and a hash joint @ 8am. Well we arrived today and it was a rough one. We never ended up sleeping mush on the plane. More drinking than sleeping. We arrived at 6am and got a lovely surprise. MY brand new guitar that I checked as fragile and special package was smashed. Not cracked, not dented but smashed into a million pieces. I took it quite well. LOL. And apparently the airline isn;t responsible. So I"ll have to email them when I sober up. Anyways we went to a "coffee shop" and indulged then roamed around town with no map. We found most of the historic sites and stuff. By 11am we were both wiped. Jetlag had taken its toll. So we napped ... read more

Wow, so the camping trip this weekend was more than we bargained for. Our site was an island in the middle of a channel in a very large lake. None if any coverage from the elements. We had 90km/h winds, rain, fog, hail, thunder and lighting, SNOW, and 4 hours of glorious sunshine. It was a rough go. Fishing wasn;t the best either. Only 4 caught. Almost got lost in the pitch black after picking up Josh and Rob. Our GPS died, but luckily we had spare batteries. Sorta scary when all u have is a pink line and a little arrow to show u where the camp is. But all in all an awesome weekend. Vantol made the trip and same with Shaw. And all the boys. So sunday mornign we woke up after a ... read more
