London and Paris

got to london was confused so we took a cab and he was obviously confused as well because he took us the longest route possible to the appartment that we rented, got to the appartment met up with sophie, left to go see Big Ben and the house of parliment at night, it was pretty dope, while doing that we saw the london eye. found out that people in the UK actually dont speak english because they dont even no what a train is, according to them it is a tube, (idiots) went back to westminster in the morning went to the british museum, saw the tower bridge and climbed 311 steps to the top of monument, awesome view. went to a kinda nice but not fancy dinner, it was gorgeous according to the idiots lol, i found it delicious like normal people would say. got up at 330 inthe morning instead of 430 thanks to the stupid time change between holland and the UK, got on a train and went to paris i (cameron) slept pretty much the whole time where as stephen played pokemon the whole time what a nerd. got to the hotel that looked like it was gonna be rediculously nice on the internet but it was definatly a piece of crap construction site, with a gross bed so we bought bed sheets for 14 euros and layed them on top of the bed and used our beach towels and airline blankets that we stole from the plane ride, we used a combination of dirty clothes and sweatshirts stuffed in our 14 euro pillow cases that we purchased earlier that day. got up and went to a pastry shop and got ourselves some crassonts that were freaking scrumditalyumptious, then made our way to the louvre that is honestly the first museum that i can say is way to big, so if you are wondering yes by the end it was boring as shit, went to the effiel tower at sunset BEAUTIFUL then there was a light show on it every hour that was pretty legit but not amazing just sparkled a little, next days went to random spots like this stop called CITE and found a glass shop and a cigar shop, the next day went to the arc de triuphe and found out that the tour de france was right there so we decided to ditch our plans for the rest of the last day and watch that, it was awesome, they are going way faster than they look like they are on tv. the next day we got a beer at 11 in the morning just to dump it out and run with the cups lol then we came '''home'' aka hoorn, took today off as a rest day, museum tomorrow, we will hit you back after that.

later

Went back to FFF / Then Brussels

Got back from amsterdam and hung out at the house for awhile, then went to old town hoorn and found the school where cam's grandfather attended. Then found grandfathers house took some pix of all of it. Left for brussels almost missed the train because of some stupid information guy didnt give us the right platform number and asked another attendent and she pointed to a train that had already been in the station for 10mins and was about to leave, WE RAN and caught it lol. The first night we saw the grand place, which btw our room is right next to, saw the pissing statue, and went to the automuseum it was sweet, had a bite to eat and then went back to the hostel trying to figure out what to do when cam looked outside cuz we heard some crazy noise. The grand place was having a cool light show it was basically amazing we ran outside to watch it= we have it on film as well, then went to a bar that had 2004 different types of beer and 50 beers on tap (the bar is in the guiness book) then went to a different bar met an english couple, they were pretty awesome, there was a live band and got a little drunk. No doubt it was a good night slept well lol. Going to london tomorrow.

Amsterdam Over Nights

The first night we hung around town and ate dinner at a super cheap pizza joint delish, then went down the main street checked all the shops out and then made our way to the red light district, its better there than in the day time- it's just amazing to see all the lights and allys lit up, i believe it is quite funny as well. We got into the hostel and first couldn't sleep because it was way to hot so we cracked some windows and tried sleeping. We got about two hours of sleep before our roommoates came in at about 4am and we're hella loud and drunk. Ugh pissed us off because they went right to sleep and they were snoring horribly....horribly!!, seriously it was bad. we only got about 2 and half hours of sleep that night. Got up at about 9 and out of the room at 10 but missed the free breakfast, damn. Then we walked around, went the the rijks (idk how to spell it) museum checked out art work and some 16th century stuff really interesting. Then made our way over to the van gouh museum but the line was freakin long and it was 15 euro. So we walked to the heineken brewery it was legit we got pictures of it too. Then chilled in vondel park for 2 hours and played some pool in the stayokay hostel. While playing pool we got ourselves a brewdog that set us back a few euros, shoulda just got the pitcher lol. Went into our room and it was like hitting a concret wall of hash, the essense of herbs our roomies were rollin´some J´s and were fittina (fitting to) get high as a kite, damn brazillian ppl. They went out to a coffee shop and didn´t see em the rest of the night. This morning we attempted to go to the anne frank house but the line was already wrapped around the whole street block, picked a good day to go huh? not! Went to the red light district and then bounced home cause we were tired and a good free meal!

Dance Valley 2009 aka Techno Concert

today was fun, we went to a technjo dance party/concert thing most definently legit and fun. There were 5 huge stages and mini stages everywhere. everything was techno and super rave-ish. To give u a visual picture of how big this place was is there was 50,000 ppl in attendance and it was as big as six flags. We found a couple dj we enjoyed and we also listened to a dj that was voted the 3rd best in the world he was eh, not to much of mine and camerons style. Sooo tomorrow is going to be regular american football but we're debating going now cause it'll cost 12.70€ for something we can see in the us. thats all 4 today.
