Well I have to say, the curse still continues. My rainbow tribal sunglasses from Fred Flare broke =[. Thats the 3rd pair of cool sunglasses that have broken..and it wasn't even my fault! The screw came out!! But anyways, yesterday we slept in and d9idnt get out of the hotel until around 12. We decided to check out the markets around the city...trust me, it was a LOT of walking. We started in some market known for vintage clothes near Anne Franks house. We looked around for a while, but a lot of it was junk and some of it was fake vintage again....bunz. We stopped for lunch at a cite traditional Amsterdam pub, that had typical food thats popular in Holland. Rachel got a Goat Cheese, Honey, and Walnut sandwich (try making that at Mosh.....if only we could milk those damn goats), and I ordered this random Holland dish called 'Two Kwekkeboom croquets with bread' which looked like two corndogs, but on the inside of the crusty thing was this creamy/cheesy/potatoey/meaty stuff, that was actually really good. I wasn't sure how you were supposed to eat it with the bread so i sort of spred it on the bread and made it a sandwich...(dont worry, ive got pics). Then we walked to another market called Waterlooplein and got some souvenirs and gifts for people (that includes you, Nick) and for ourselves.
Afterwords we went back to the hotel and rested for a bit and watched some weird TV shows, and then headed out for dinner. Of course, we went back to Wagamama cause it was so good and we got free drinks with coupons from our hotel. I got a Heineken just because thats what you do in Amsterdam.... After dinner we got dressed up and went out to some random bar near the Red Light District, but we werent really into the bar so we just walked around the Red Light District again...it was really funny. Its actaully sooo interesting. I'm definately gonna look more into it when I get home. Like what are the politics of the Red Light District? Do you have to work your way up, or what? We also noticed that some rooms were nicer than others, and some where in better locations, so how does it all work? Anyways, we were tired so we went back home and went to sleep.
Today we woke up and packed up all of our stuff (packing gets harder and harder each time we travel), and then rented bikes for 3 hours. If I didnt mention before, Amsterdam is FULL of bikes. Crossing streets and walking around is terrifying because people bike SOOO fast and dont really yeild to pedestrians. The streets are really confusing because there is a walking lane, a bike lane, a tram lane, and a car lane, and they are all the same height and same color so its hard to tell where you are supposed to be. I was on the hunt for a new pair of sunglasses, when I remembered that I saw my sunglasses (or at least, ones that looked just like mine) in the fake vintage store. So we biked back there and I went in hoping that they could give me a screw for them or something, but instead, they replaced mine for free!! But after I got the new ones, I realized that though they had the same print, they were different sunglasses and the ones i had were much better quality than the replacement I got...but hey, beggars cant be choosers, right?
We ate a nice lunch by a canal and then biked back to the hotel. We have a train to catch at 5:41...we're taking a NIGHT TRAIN to PRAGUE (my favorite city in the world)!! Its really exciting but also kinda nervewracking because we booked seats not bed (beds were more expensive) and we are gonna be on that train for 15 hours. Hopefully we'll be able to sleep....wish us luck?? Not sure about how connected we'll be to the internet in Prague, but hopefully our hostel will have a computer we can use.
Time for us to CZECH out! hahahhaha im so funny jokes jokes jokes
PEACE
