Stole breakfast in the morning. We would’ve paid but they didn’t ask and we’re on a low budget! They told us off for trying to steal food, but we did anyway for the journey to Amsterdam.
We missed the first train which went directly to Amsterdam, so we caught the train 10 minutes later that required us to change in Duisberg. Little did we know, the train had split while we were on it and we ended up in Koln (still Germany...). Luckily there was a train straight to Amsterdam about 3-4 hours later, so we walked a bit and found a quaint, if expensive, cafe and had cake and hot chocolate. We really are ladies who lunch!
We finally caught the right train. We had a little cabin to ourselves and sang lots of songs (and played Guess the song... like on Never Mind the Buzzcocks.) and tried to learn how to roll a spliff... When we got to Amsterdam we caught the tram and went to the hotel. Once we’d checked in we went to our room and met Nathan, a friend of our room mates. He was a bit weird, kind and nice, but with a pervy moustache. We then met Brendan, a Canadian we were sharing the room with.
I had a shower then the three of us went to the Dolphin coffee shop which was pretty close to the Hans Brinker (our hotel). We bought some ready made joints (because our lessons on the train didn’t really work out.) It didn’t take much to get me pretty baked. I was exhausted too and I fell asleep on the comfy chairs. I felt a bit sick too. I was pretty mesmerised by the fantastic interior design too, which inspired me to create a seasonal room when I buy my own house!
We went to Febo’s after that. I bought some bloody fantastic chicken burger thing. Went back to the hotel and met the two Australian girls we were sharing the room with as well as Brendan. They were off it on space cakes (note to self: buy some.) Turns out that one of the girls had her huge rucksack stolen the same day straight out of the room! So glad it wasn’t us, but it was seriously gutting for her! I’d been told the pillows were really nice... and they totally were! The duvets felt like a hug too!
