Day 2..well actually day three

Guest writer..Clare (snaggle) (with input from neen)

It didn't rain today!

But first last night we went around Amsterdam on foot and saw some..not so attractive ladies in windows for sale...yikeessssssss.

FRIDAY

Well the day started off a little rough...PB&J sandwiches for breakfast and nastyyyyyy orange juice....(Clare liked the coffee). we met a new friend Sam from the land down under.

After mingling and planning the day we decided to rent bikes! yay! A few signatures later and we were off...well so we thought. Turns out Samantha can't ride a bike. after a half an hour of trying to teach her how to ride a bike we gave up and turned in our bikes and were off on foot.

with our Aussie friend and walking shoes ready we traveled along the Pirenschagsthsdsdsfsdfsdfsd canal towards Anne Frank Huis.

The self guided tour was very interesting and we got to see where the family lived and learned some interesting things.

Next we were off to the Heineken factory....or so we thought...after waiting for a tram and harassing a grocery store clerk we arrived at a CLOSED Heineken factory....so sad, well it turned out for the best when we found an EXCELLLENT place to eat lunch and people watch. After lunch we headed to a street fair, which was alot like the orange county swap meet... a walk through a beautiful park and shopping area brought us home for a nice nap :)

Tonight we are partaking in a 18 Euro Pub Crawl throughout the Canal Ring. haha more on that next time

Tomorrow we head to Namur to enjoy "hiking biking (well not anymore) caving and kayaking" according to my guide book haha....probably just More walking!


Cheers!

Is Sam and Samantha the same person? I was hope you met a guy ;-). And who can't ride bike? Can she ride a Kangaroo or a Dingo? Glad to hear you are having fun!
