Amsterdam, Holland - 17th June 2009

By: DeliciousJu

Hi Mum,

What a week it has been!!

On Thursday before we went to Amsterdam Natt Noy arrived back with his new friend Gulliver - Natt had been away to the Tatty Teddy Factory, we sat up & listened to their stories of their adventure to Chichester .... sounds like that had a great time!

Then we all helped Julie pack her bags ready for Amsterdam - had to make sure all the important bits were packed - i was in charge of checking we had the tickets, wont get very far without them will we?

Even had some input on Julie's decide on her outfit for the the party we are going too on Saturday - Defqon 1, she showed us a video of the party on her laptop - wow!!!

Friday afternoon the destination is Bristol International Airport to get out flight - seatbelts on, checked the safety leaflet too - always best to be prepared!!

An hour later we arrived in Amsterdam - 1st stop was the only windmill in Amsterdam - De Gooyer windmill, also known as the Funenmolen is now a charming brewery and popular gathering place. The Netherlands is famous for its windmills - Amsterdam only has six that have survived the times, of which the De Gooyer mill is the closest near the historic center. It towers over the Nieuwevaart Canal, Molen De Gooyer was built in 1725

Saturday was the day of the party Defqon 1 - Julie packed us her in backpack & off we went on the train at about 11am, it was very busy - we guessed there must of been about 150,000 people at least, 8 different rooms, lots of bars, food stalls & music everywhere - it was mad, was such a beautiful day too - the sun shined all day for us!!! We had such good fun, Julie bought us 'go fast' energy drink to keep us going through the day, he he  :stare:

Sunday was our final day in Amsterdam & we went for another walk around as Julie wanted to show us some more sights ......... first things first though - Julie took us for a coffee to wake us up!

We walked through the Red Light District & was the ladies in the windows 'working' - was very odd to see but glad we went through it as it is such a huge part of the lifestyle in Amsterdam! We also went to the Hemp Museum, Vodka Museum & Sex Museum! And not forgetting the 'coffee shops' where they sell & smoke marijuana ..... Amsterdam is a crazy place!!!

Before we knew it it was time to head off back to Shiphol airport & our flight home  :p

Going to have a quiet few days chilling, i think this weekend we are off to the Museum to see the graffiti artist 'Banksy' & his work .... you should google him in the meantime - he is from Bristol & very famous over here now with his work!

Lots of Love, Pisoni:) xxx
