THE DAM!
Crew: Greg, Dan, Hurls and myself
Well well well where to I start...what a bizar place!
Its
the only place in the world where you can be in a hostel full of
people, yet everyones sitting by themselves giggling like little kids
or staring blankly at a tv screen- very strange! Amsterdam definitely
did a number on all of us! We were there for 5 nights and the score was
definitely 0-5 the dams way!
The first night, Grega didn't make it
out and I had to leave a nightclub due to rolling around on the ground
and couches with uncontrollable laughter; I was definitely in a happy
place! The second night we went on a pub crawl which lasted 2 bars for
dan and I due to the rookie error of going too hard too early...very
poor form I know! On day 3 I did the free walking tour which was super!
Its a very cool city with all its old houses and canals etc.
Then
on the sat night dan, hurls and I caught a fairy and followed some
random guys towards a night club on a boat which hurls had heard about
from some chick he'd barely met. So realy I don't blame greg for his
paranoia in refusing to hop on the ferry when we had absolutely no idea
where we were going. But it ended up being worth it, the boat, actually
it was more like a ship was the best venue for a nightclub i'd ever
seen, however it did hurt when we realised it was there once a month
Jazz night, ouch to say the least!
Our last night though was
when everyone really lost it! Our last memories were leaving a bar
where we'd had free drinks for an hour and all smashed atleast 10 vodka
red bulls in that time after spending the whole day knocking back
pints. Next thing you know Dan had his phone stolen courtesy of some of
grega's handy work, hurls thinks he got bashed as he couldn't explain
the bruises all over his body and I came too 2hrs away from amsterdam
with no recollection how I got there...So after a 2hr ride back I was
greeted by police who very kindly took me back to the police station
and gave me a cup of tea while I sobered up and remembered the name of
my hostel. Yes, another round to the DAM!
The next day we were all happy to get out of there and start our road trip to BERLIN via HAMBURG!
