Let the good times roll. Finally it was our first free 3 day weekend. Erika and I woke up early and began our trek to Amsterdam. It was a really long day we started with a 3 hour train that took us to Brussels and we missed our first train from there to Amsterdam, and then our second train was cancelled so they say three times the charm and yes it was. It took us another 3 hours to get from Brussels to Amsterdam so we took a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne onto the train with us and had some drinks to kill the time. When we got to Amsterdam we were really releived and so excited to check the city out. Everyone was so mellow and it wasn't at all like I had anticipated. It was very clean and had canals everywhere and lots of boats and of course lots of cafe's. So we walked around for awhile trying to find our hotel and we became a little bit frustrated becase we had been traveling for so long. Then in the distance we spotted the mellow yellow cafe so we went in. And this is where the fun began. It was so strange to be in a city that is so liberal. So we sat down and indulged and laughed alot. We decided we better get a move on if we ever wanted to find our hotel. We walked and walked and walked so more and still no hotel, but at least we were in good spirits. Finally when we thought that we couldn't walk anymore across this canal all lit up so beautiful was our hotel and we rejoiced and took pictures went and checked in. Our hotel inside was so nice and it was relaxing to be just the two of us with no agenda. We were going to go out but when we got to the room we just layed down and both fell asleep and that is the end of that day.
