Please note the typo here from amsterdam boy. The last two words were meant to read "a/c anal".

I reckon they'll definitely be stopping and searching you on the way back in.

The last two posts together conjure an unfortunate mental picture

Enjoy Mark!

let us know what happens, lol

have fun. And if you do have the misfortune of falling into a canal, please ensure you're holding a Mac at the time

Don't expect any coffe in their coffe shops

Nice one Sir. If you read this in time, my recommendations, assuming you're off to have a smoke, are

De Kuil, De Dampkring, and Dolphins. You can find them on the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory website. I buy from Dampkring, loiter there for a while, then shove loads in the Volcano vapouriser in De Kuil. After that, the RLD is strictly a window-shopping experience.

No point wishing you a fine time, it's impossible NOT to have one in that fair city.

Hmmm, you've planted a rapidly germinating seed, Mr Fiend.

I've just realized I'm off to Mauritius in under a month Sea temp at this time of year 22 degrees C

I'm back now. Didn't fall into any canals (or a/c anals ) Nor did I get stopped by customs on the way back (which is probably for the best )

Had a day out to Den Haag to look at an Escher exhibition. Did a bit of shopping at Waterlooplein market. Found a decent coffee shop just off the Leidseplein called "Rokerij". Didn't do much else other than smoke, eat and drink.

A good relaxing holiday

Hope you had a good time.. when i went, the gang wouldn't let me go to the museum of torture.

now you're back, can you make me a 'ruefully shaking head' emoticon for msn?

ps this has nothing to do with, and is not a conment on, your holiday. i just need to use one, often.

xxxxxx

If I knew what "ruefully shaking head" would look like...

like this mixed with head shaking

OK. Leave it with me...

you're a darling.

Nice one! I just came back from the Dam recently too and I'm missing it badly. Christ I LOVE that city. Did much the same things as yourself, plus a few others Sounds like you did more of the cultural stuff that I've been trying to convince my family that I did too, instead of the seedy pursuits I actually went for...Got any photos of museums etc that I can borrow? hehe

Sod it, I'm going back for Christmas. Flights from Leeds/Bradford for £1 on Dec 23rd
