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!
