Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

Amsterdam
Firstly, I would like to explain the fact that the title of this post has no clever meaning mainly because Eurotrip finished in Berlin. The Dam has seen us double in size with a surprise inclusion of Mark Namazi and although it's great to be back with the full squad of boys again, it just isn't quite the same. The pub crawl, was good but didn't have as much to offer as all the previous and our sheer size has prevented most of us meeting more people, but either way this has been belter few days. However, today has predominantly been occupied by thoughts to tomorrow. Fingers crossed for us all. On a brighter note, visits were made to the Heineken Museum and looks at the Anne Frank House, the queue was too long for us to be waiting in. Even better for me personally, was my first chinese for a good month and a bit, rice has never tasted so good. As I even type now, arguments are breaking out now on whether or not to check in the morning, who can sleep? The experience has been slightly different to when I first visited the city when I was just 13, but nontheless it has been an eye 0pener, Bains and Fieldy will agree to this the most. Highlights include, Christopher Loftus resembling colours close to my own skin, if not worse and even Fieldy having an extermely dark moment on the first night. Unsurprisingly though, Gary has remained glued to the phone and the leash is unrelenting, let's hope he can stop all this nonsense when he returns. Personally, I can't wait to reach home, missed the bed and the food and the clean clothes. One thing I do regret bringing home is the manflu due to Onions, just can't stop making things worse (But we love you... naat). See you in a couple of hours. Love you too Mum. x
