Amsterdam

Currently my ship is sailing smoothly in London. I've just been hit by a wave of amazing tunes brought to me by Brooklyn psychedelic gospel rockers Yeasayer.

What was before this? Lets go back to a place in Switzerland called Nyon.

The sunset swimming across Lake Geneva and hitting the Mont Blanc on the way to bed. A paradise for 10 days.

Flying to Amsterdam














Bam! I jumped on a plane and left paradise to arrive in Amsterdam. A place for the wicked, crazy and highly 'energised'. Sean and I stayed in two Hostels, one was a Christian hostel in the red light district. In the very same street you could pay get your rocks off for €30 as well as get a good nights sleep at the hostel for €18, an that includes breakfast. Here we met up with lovely Francesca and her friends Sophie and Marte. We did the usual Amsterdam fun things.....i'll leave that to your imaginations

Amsterdam is a beauty of a city. Filled with so much character in one tiny spot.

Lets time warp back to my first time in Berlin. Remember Melt festival? Bjork and Hotchip were playing. Well i had a bunch of disposable camera images printed. An wow i don't remember any of the photos being taken, but here is the last and best image from the reel. It contains our very excited Austrian friends who were all party party party love party love party party love love and party. Fun times. |

Maxie, great to see some photos and read news of your travels. Life can be a ball when you just go with the flow. We are thinking seriously of selling up in Melbourne and going deeply into the bush to build. Prob in Nov. or by the end of the year. Keep in touch and stay safe and happy. love from Ian and Ceri who HAVE been miissing you.
