flew into holland on the 5th to go visit the family...however no one had any idea I was coming! had good fun turning up on the doorstep of aunties and uncles, and the grandparents!
Turned out to be a good timing while I was there as it was my cousins birthday, my aunty and uncles 25th wedding anniversary, and I discovered I had a new born cousin!
hung out with the family for a week and then headed up to amsterdam for 2 nights. we ended up staying in this christain youth hostel, which was strangely situated in the middle of the red light district. Had some interesting things to look at just outside the door!
Visited the Anne Frank house, did a canal cruise and strolled the red light district at night. had a good few days there, and could even have made a few $$$ what with the offers we got! (which I couldnt quite understand considering we were looking rugged as!)
our last night in Amsterdam saw us coming back to the hostel for dinner only to discover the road was cordonned off and a fire engine was busy fighting a fire in the building next door to us! so we legged it off to the movies, and were glad to see that our hostel hadnt been burnt to the ground by the time we got back!!
Amsterdam's house boats
the canals in amsterdam have heaps of these really cool house boats that people live in
marijuana
this plant had been placed in the window of the shop...perfect for a photo taking opportunity!
