Amsterdam: Green Light District

    Whoever (my parents) said "Icelandic air?? Never heard of it. Oh dear god help give our children common sense on their Europe journey..." we would like to set the record straight. Iceland air you may want to hire us for your promo team. The flight was so smooth the entire time! Zero turbulence; we got a wooly blanket and a pillow with an icelandic lullaby written on it, PLUS our own individual tvs with about 20 movies and 40 or so current tv show episodes! In Iceland air we trust.

    It took only a few days in this beautiful, canal filled city to figure out that you can walk to most of the main attractions. For others, we are masters of the tram! ME. For all you out there who know my sense of direction. The only unfortunate direction mishap occurred rushing from my 10 person bedroom in the flying pig to the "unisex" bathroom...which in fact was just a closet with a very high urinal, that I proceeded to jump, literally jump, upon and hold onto the walls for dear life to try and pee into it. Dad I knew I shouldv've bought the female pee contraption at the travel store in TO. We have travelled through vondelpark, huge museums, squares bustling with people that are surrounded by bars and restaurants, monuments, a vast sex museum, and are about to do the heineken experience. In other news, by god we are going to take over the world with drinking games!!! Sociables in amsterdam? Check. In one of the biggest European hostel lounges were once small pockets of people who were bombarded by 2 howling Canadian girls playing drinking card games, urging bystanders to join until we moved the tables to create a solid group of 12 or so. Stayed up till the wee hours there and then at Sweetland club!  Oh damn. Also just found a mouse scurrying in our hostel. Don't worry mom! We won't keep it as a travel pet.
