Amsterdam

So i arrived in Amsters a couple of days ago. The taxi driver
didnt know where the hotel was, but i was strangely confident
as he had GPS and was driving a good car. Anyway, we didnt
find the hotel for a while, we could find the street, but the hotel
didnt seem to exist.


Not sure how u miss a hotel this big, but it was night time, and
the problem was their was no naming anywhere. Oh well found
it eventually. The rooms were kinda like my apartment in adelaide
high ceilings ! I could live here, except the nightly rate was about
50% more than my weekly rent, hmm. Played some poker
the next day, ate a big meal of duck and bok choi finally (only
been pasta/pizza/seafood) for the last few weeks.

Had AA beaten with only 5 ppl left in the pokerroom tournament,
by some guy who was on tilt. For some reason the hotel had
free mini bar ! So i drank all the beer and juice and took all
the little alcohol bottles !

Caught up with B and P the next day, and moved into the new apartment,
a lot of stairs and very narrow, but very cool nonetheless. Apparently
built in the 1600s , the golden age of architecture in amsterdam.
Lucky Australia's golden age was in the 1600s, otherwise we would be
leaving eucalyptus houses built by koalas.

Walking around amsterdam, i was like a kid in a candy store, looking
at the mushrooms on offer, but due to poker tournaments and
hallucinogenics not combining, i have resisted... so far.
