Queens Day 30th May : The Dutch Queens birthday, basically an excuse for a big party throughout Amsterdam. Heaps of free music everywhere, lots of markets secound hand stuff etc on the streets and an insane amount of people. We didnt go into the centre but you can hardly walk because of the crowds apparently. We spent a few hours on the canals in the morning before they got too busy then hung out in the westerpark for the afternoon. Later on we went to Parideso, really amazing club in a church to see a few djs till the wee hours.
kayaking on Saturday: Josh, Rebecca, Josh’s friends and I did a wee Kayaking / canoeing trip around a wetland nature reserve in the north of Amsterdam on Saturday afternoon . Stopped by a little wine place along the way beside the water too, very nice day.
This will be the last post for a wee while, off to Tarifa (Spain) on thursday to stay with cousin Grahame.
Tot ziens

Hey the grass is so green over there and the clothing so orange! George would be able to go camo easily. He says very wild and windy at home with the house shaking. Poor silverbeet! Fire is g.o.o.d tonight.
