Marg and I were last to arrive in the Dam and didn't get off the train until 12am but this didn't stop us from meeting up with the rest of the crew and hitting the town until 4am! (jeez we're hard core!)
Our hotel was an amazing Dutch house converted into a trendy hotel. Our room overlooked the canal and one entire wall was a giant Dutch master print.
Once we all woke up on Saturday the trip began in earnest. The girls and I went straight to the Yellow Bike Company to hire some bikes and the others, after a brief communications malfunction, caught up and then we were off.
After a ride around and a fair bit of getting lost (thanks to me this time) we decided to have a look at the Van Gogh Museum and then get some lunch.
A lunch venue big enough for a group of 6 hungry Aussies was eventually found and we set about drinking local beer (it was the season for Bok) and eating great heaps of meat on beautiful fresh bread, YUM!
Next came more drinks at a local beer connoisseur bar where Andy without thinking ordered a Heineken and was handed a glass of dish water... after they had finished laughing. Then it was on to dinner of amazing steak and chips.
Next we all wandered into the red light district for a look (not allowed to take photos there understandably) and then a few more bars until Margie and I piked and went to bed (2am ish).
