That green haazzeee

After being destroyed from the pub crawl it was a miracle that we all rose at 8am to catch our 9:30am train here to Amsterdam, already we've experienced the best sweets on offer (appropriately changed for our younger readers). Again, once we stepped off the tram to our hostel... the Geordies were there and then once we stepped into KFC after our first round of sweets... the Geordies were there, somehow us bumping into them seems like no coincidence. I think it's safe to say that everyone's enjoying the dam considering everyone's still tucked up in bed. Leo on the other hand has had another hiccup, losing his bank card and drivers license and uni card... he really is challenging Victor here.

As for the two and a half days spent in Amsterdam, they truly were just complete bliss chilled out with our sweets whilst Britain riots and stock markets fall we were just sitting back and enjoying the laughs, hard to beat. Apart from Leo who had to go and sort out his bank card we had all visited Amsterdam before and so we never really made it to see anything other than sweets. A few of the hazy highlights I can recall include:

• Carney realising that Richard Gere loves his ladies of the night due to all of his films having some sort of connection to them


• Shaun, our Geordie friend demonstrating the finest arm curl/stretch the world has ever seen whilst on sweets and of course sleeping with one eye half open


• Phil having to prove ownership of his backpack by revealing he has a book called Sophie's World to which the whole group fell into fits of laughter in response


• Eating twice my body weight after visiting KFC, Maccies and Burger King all at least twice along with FEBO and their devilishly convenient coin operated food dispensers, also in the frame was New York Pizza slice and countless kebab houses, Amsterdams finest cuisine definitely.

Amsterdam is a beauitful place and no not just for the sweets, plenty of history is there and there's a host of different people there to meet. Despite not visiting anything remotely touristy apart from the coffeehouses it is a place that I recommend everyone goes especially anyone who is 18 or over because new laws come in prohibiting sweets to tourists next year, get there quick.

Onwards to Brussels, keep watching.x
