AMSTERDAM!!!!!!!! Well yes LOLZ!!! My Rob from NZ had decided to head to these shores for a couple of weeks, so we decided to head to (along with Melissa) to Amsterdam for a few days.....Well good times is all I can say LOLZ!!!! We stayed in these log cabins in the middle of the forrest.....which for the first night we froze our ARSES OFF!!! Until Melissa comes along the next night and points out the cabin actually has a heating system that we could've just turned on LOLZ!!!! The nice thing about these cabins, is that when you woke up in the morning and opened your door there would be loads of cute little bunnies hopping about:-) So yes did we try the cafes.....well we walked into them and thats all I'm gonna say lolz!!!! ... read more
