Amsterdam – Joe’s version
August 26th, 2008 , 19:15
Kathleen awoke far too early (it was after 7!) still hoping to get into hte park and that the Python would be fixed. However, after explaining we were going back to Amsterdam she did calm down a bit. So we packed the bags, checked out of the hotel, put the bags in the car, and went back for our champagne breakfast. One has to say that champagne and coco pops don’t necessarily mix (duh). We then decided to head the quickest route back to Amsterdam. There was a few interesting sights on the way we tried to take photos of but we didn’t stop. We got back to the airport about midday, returned the car, headed to the main airport building, where we got our train tickets and strippen cards (these are cards that you can use on the trams in Amsterdam, buy them in blocks of 10 or 15 and much cheaper than paying for individual journeys on the trams; plus it’s easier to get on and off some trams because you can’t pay with cash. You can buy them from the newsagents at the airport.) Once in Amsterdam we got to the hotel, which was not quite where we thought it was, we had to purchase a map to find it! But we were not far off. We checked in to a much more typical Amsterdam hotel room where you can’t open the door because the bed is in the way. We then walked back to the entrance to the Voldelpark, next to the casino where we took a boat tour of Amsterdam. After which we went to a brown bar where we had dinner, a couple of very nicely done steaks. After which we retired for a drink before going back to bed.
