Switzerland, Amsterdam

About two days ago we were in Switzerland. The money is stupid big (the coins), literally everyone smokes here and the bathrooms are co-ed.

I can't remember what city we were in off the top of my head but it was so beautiful. We could see the alps and the cities structure was just something to admire (living in the city and all). I didn't buy anything because swiss francs are about the same as Canadian money, and alot of it was very expensive. (e.g. a McDonalds meal costed 12 dollars... not including the combo.. I didn't get it in long run).

Either way it was fun. We stayed at some dudes house that was kinda wierd but he had cheese and chocolate pastries for us when we awoke for another 10 hour day. Last night we slept in the van (for the first night) at a gas statiion, then drove early in the morning to arrive in Amsterdam.

So we are in Amsterdam now and have already done everything you can really do. We walked around, went to a "coffee shop" where the guys smoked and then went down an alley where there were many scantily clad girls asking us to go in rooms with them.

After that we walked around and I went to a grocery store to pick up some things for people and we sat on the patio right on the main strip of the red light district.

The show and our hostel is pretty much dead centre of the district but it's really not sketchy at all. There are just alot of places you can buy marijuana and it's all tourists and tourists shops selling stuff for marijuana.

Jeff, Rory, Zac and anyone else who doesn't stick out in my mind right now who enjoys the occasional "toke" - I wish you were here.

p.s. Wheels of cheese are alot more incredible in real life.

First and last time I want to be in a hostel?
