It's nice to wake up with nothing on your mind, except enjoying a nice holiday. That's the feeling we both had this morning with no cares as to what visas we need, what letters to fill in, what info to get from hosts...blah blah blah. So I finished my ... Read more >

So I just noticed today's number has a 13 in it and we are heading to The Hague (AGAIN!) to deal with Visa stuff. But all went smoothly actually and I can only report positive outcomes. We set out to Breda to start with...2 hours away by train to cross ... Read more >

Warhol and Banksy exhibition at Moco today. Moco's a big, old house made into a gallery, so you wind up and down the stairs to each viewing area. It housed about 15 works by each artist - even Mike quite enjoyed it. POD of him running with the ... Read more >

Weather still cold and wet so hopped on the ferry over to the EYE to see Louis Theroux's: My Scientology film . The casting idea and reenactment scenes were fantastic but he didn't really present anything too different from 'Going Clear'...I guess we ... Read more >

I got a hair cut with Jennifer from Wild Romance . Cool little salon, but everything is classy here. Pick from one of their freelance hairdressers and book online - it couldn't be easier. It was still bitterly cold today so we stayed in doors ... Read more >

We took the bikes on the train with us to Den Haag this time. Thought we might head seaside after we picked up our Russian Visas (still not knowing if we'd been successful applicants at this stage). Somehow we got out of paying 50 euros (each) for not ... Read more >

Getting the most out of my intro week offer at Bikram - 8 days, unlimited, for 12 euro. I am also reading and loving a new book called Gut: The inside story of our body's most under-rated organ, so all I talk about is how our digestive system should ... Read more >

I experienced a growing yoga fad: Hot Pod . It's vinyasa but in a warm, dark, giant, purple, jumping castle, tent thingy. It's about 37 degrees so you get your sweat on and I guess the idea is both gimmick and convenience for teachers to transport it ... Read more >

Left the bikes and caught the tram into Central to sample some fine tasting falafel at Maoz . Good reviews and it might just be the best in town. Then we happily wandered and by chance stumbled upon the Red Light District. Found a spot to ... Read more >

This is Miffy. Wow, 100 days go by so quick. They have these 'Iamsterdam' city cards here (24, 48, 72 or 96 hours) so grabbed us both a 72-er for some serious adventuring. They don't start until you activate em, so we might get started in a few days.... Read more >
