European Getaway Day 18 (3-12-2006)

Rhine Valley to Amsterdam (Germany to the Netherlands)

Today we woke at 7:30 packed out bags dragged them to the foyer and had breakfast again it was ham and cheese sandwich but this time there was scrambled egg, made a nice sandwhich this time. We then lugged our bags back up to the bus, always nice carrying 25kgs on a full stomach. On our way to Amsterdam we stopped at a farm where the guy made cheese and clogs he was a nutter, but made nice cheese. We had lunch at the farm but it was raining so we had to quickly make our lunch and then run on the bus to eat it in the dry.

It rained all the way into Amsterdam. When we got there, there was no where for the bus to stop so we all just had to jump off and throw the bags off the bus onto the footpath as quick as we could as the bus was stopping traffic. I made Kieran get our bags so no one took them. We had to take everything off the bus as we wouldn’t see it for the next few days till we were leaving and Kieran and I had stuff we had to send home so we had to take it all off. We chucked on our bags in the rain and lugged them to the hotel/hostel we were staying. Got our room keys I was with David and Yo. Kieran was with the girls in a room.

Once we dumped our clothes we headed straight down to wash them as we needed some clothes. We had to rush as we had to go on a Heineken tour that we had already paid for. There wasn’t enough time for the clothes to finish. We told Jaz we would be late and we would meet her at the factory and have to sprint there. She said that she would come back and put the washing in the dryers for us. I was hesitant to leave my clothes in a Laundromat as I didn’t want them to be stolen. We left the clothes going and went to the Heineken tour.

It wasn’t a tour as such but rather an experience which is what they call it. It was really good; you learn about the company and then go on some rides like the life of a beer bottle and being a horse and cart driver. They had other interactive things you could do such as being a DJ and send home videos to people back home, some of you might have got one. We also got free drinks with the price of the ticket you got 3 tokens for beer and one for a gift. I ended up having something like 8-9 beers as people didn’t like beer and only wanted one drink, you could also get a Pepsi if you didn’t want beer. I had a sculling comp with Yo, of course I won and he wanted to give me his other free beer as he doesn’t drink beer (he sculled Pepsi). It was a good time there until the bar closed and we had to scull our drinks to leave as they kicked us out. Our free gift was a bottle opener, really cool.

Kieran left with the girls earlier as they weren’t drinking the beer and she said she was going to get the washing so I stayed around to have my beers. It wasn’t until I left and was back at the hostel that I noticed she wasn’t there. She then rang me and it was 7pm and she was at another bar and we didn’t have our washing. I sprinted down to the laundry and picked up our washing, we were lucky it was still there.

I went back to the hotel and had dinner with Yo, I thought we were leaving for the sex show at 7:30 so we went down to the food area in the Hostel and had a burger. I then found out we were leaving at 8 which allowed me to relax. Kieran came back at 7:30 and was angry at me for eating dinner but I had no idea when they were coming back.

I left the Heineken place with Sam, Teagan, Tarshi and Hanna (the Eleanor look alike). I thought we were going back to the hotel but soon found out that Hanna wanted us to find this bar that a friend from her hometown in N.Z worked at. So we were walking around Amsterdam trying to find this place and also not get hit by cars (they are a bit crazy). We eventually found it and it was a small bar under a hostel it was a cozy little place. We got some discounted drinks and had a few shots; Hannah’s friend was a nice guy. Eventually we had to leave; we could have stayed there all night but we new we had to get back to the tour. When we left it was raining and we were all a little tipsy. We kinda ran back in small bouts and Tarshi slipped on the gutter and hurt her ankle but at the time she just laughed and kept running it wasn’t till later that her ankle really started to hurt. When we got to the hostel we didn’t have much time to get ready and 5 girls in one small room with a bathroom all trying to get ready at once can be crazy, when we left that room there was crap everywhere!

We all met in the foyer at 8 and walked to our sex show. I was going to sit in the front row but then opted for the back. The beginning was good to see what the girls could do was interesting. There were no males strippers (the girls were disappointed). Some of the things the chicks did was: one girl played with a candle and put in certain places and dripped wax on herself. The next girl used a ribbon and made Ashoor pull it out and it just kept on coming the never ending vagina sting. Ashoor being the 18yr was amazed hehe. The next was the lady who took Lloydy on stage took of his shirt and then wrote on his chest with a texta put in a place you don’t normally put a texta. In a foreign country she wrote in good English ‘superman’. (see pic)

Next was the banana lady she made most of the front row get up and eat a banana out of her but each person could only take a small bit making it closer and closer to her. After this show came the sex show, which was not anything to really write home about (even though I am) the guy was a feral uncle fester looking guy a fatty with a bald head. Couldn’t quite get it up and the chick looked like she would be more excited playing pinball than being there. So it wasn’t anything that special at all. Afterwards all the girls were talking about how feral the guy was and how shit it was. The best thing about it was we all got a free drink on entry.

We all left the club went for a walk around the red light district where all the prostitutes stand in the windows and then walked for ages looking for a pub where we lost a lot of people on the walk and the night ended shit, I think that was because so many people were up for a big one that always turns out crap when u r too excited. I couldn’t be arsed so I went back to the hostel and went to bed. Kieran stayed out, but not for very much longer.
