Day: 2 November 2005

I will explore the city.

I have picked up these discount cards from the hotel.

This means I can get in a load of places I was going to go free and whatnot.

Had a few drinks around Leidsplein last night.

Compared to America this is a drinkers Utopia.

Here’s some bikes.

2 Blocks off Leidseplein, pronounced Light-spline.

The Damm has 2 main blocks, Damm square and this one Leidsplein which is home to the Boom Boom theatre, Chicago Rocks Hard rock café Casino etc. All the things you might expect, flashing lights, bars, people enjoying themselves in the bars and clubs.

I guess the cafés were closed last night. I only saw one guy sitting outside smoking, perhaps all the stoners go home early.

Hotel Crystal
The place where I am staying. Woke up late and missed breakfast. Girl got me a bowl of corn flakes.
The hotel cost €40 per night.
It’s clean, quite and functional.

Last time I was camping out. It was freezing. I had no money.
I started working at a tulip factory until I lost my passport in Hoorne.

The Damm blog begins.

I am currently residing here.

at the Marriot while I get some work done (blogging).

Leeds Bradford Airport
Not much to report.

If your driving, don’t expect to drive up and jump out of the car. The location of the airport is kind of remote and buses clog up the arteries which would make your journey smooth.

Took me just under 3 hours from Wolverhampton.
