Amsterdammit

Friday night we took an afternoon flight to Amsterdam.

Sorry, what? How crazy is that?
We hopped on a train, hopped on a plane and a few hours later we arrived at our hotel in AMSTERDAM!?!?

The Westcord Art Hotel. How Amsterdammy does that sound? Shmancy!

Now, Amsterdam has a pretty solid reputation as far as the Night Life is concerned... but here are some things you probably didn't know you could do there:
1) Kiss Super Mooooooooo (Cow dressed as...)
2) Eat Chip and dip that is bigger than your face.
3) Buy, write, stamp and send a postcard to your mama within 10m squared. (This is new to me, anyhow)
4) APPLE PIE
5) Visit the Heineken Experience, drink Wort, have a picture taken with you as the centre of a beer label.
6) Visit the Bols Experience (Cocktails included)
7) MCDONALDS
8) Visit a coffee shop whose decor consists entirely of graffiti (surprisingly tasteful!)
9) MEXICAN FOOD
10) ITALIAN FOOD... in fact, pretty much every nationality in terms of food.
11) Test out some pesto cheese in a cheese shop (Yes, it is green, but in a good way)
12) Drink Heineken out of a blue and white printed PAPER BAG, so as not to alert the police mans attention to your naughty ways.
13) See a horse stable with the name tag 'Mike', but no Mike.
14) Sit inside the 'd' of the I AM STERDAM sign
15) Almost fall asleep inside the 'd' of the I AM STERDAM sign due to incredible comfort.
16) Run through puddles intentionally whilst hoping the tram doesn't close it's doors JUST yet.
17) Take photo's of buildings that Look Important Therefore Must Be.
18) More MCDONALDS
19) Ben and Jerry's
20) Visit the flower market... arguably my favourite part of Amsterdam. There is a roof made out of drying bunches of flowers. I'm sure that was stolen out of my dreams!!??
21) Fall asleep inside a hammock shop.
22) Visit the Torture Museum. A brief, but somewhat disturbing experience.
23) Gaze down the canal in the evening. The red lights look much prettier in the waters reflection.
24) See a giant bug statute
25) Sleep in Very Comfortable Hotel Beds till lunch time.

I Like Amsterdam
