amsterdam

Amsterdam is a pretty cool place and not just for the reasons that many of you would suspect. I stayed one night in an arty kind of hotel. It was relatively cheap but the facilities were too. I was particularly perturbed to see a life sized photo of a naked lady holding a large penis directly outside my door. I felt it better not to study this photo ! The major event of the day was to see the Anne Frank musuem. It was an interesting sight but I was puzzled by the manner in which the other people attending queued to look at each exhibit. At one point, while being channelled through a narrow hallway, I waited for 20 minutes in line for the gobshites ahead of me to read the walk mounted naratives. I lost patience and barged through. Later, I indulged myself with bock bier (6.5%) and bitten ballen. These littles bites being a new found joy. Then off to the train station to pick up a train to Cologne.
