venice and amsterdam so far!

Okay so i have no idea where i last left off...its been so long since i've blogged.

but, right now im sitting in roberts apartment in amsterdam. robert is a cool married man who has kindly offered us his house. just to let you know us is not me, us is me plus 3 others. 2 americans and 1 australian(not including me).

so right now im sitting, just finished a croisant for breakfast, watching the misreable rain drisling from the sky ruining our plans for the day. so we are replanning.

our plan is to see the van gough museum, and to do a tour a of a beer factory.

im sleeping on a self inflatable mattress with my sleeping bag. its quite comfortable actually.

now ben gillard is singing avril!

Venice was nice. we had a hotel in Lido, which was in expensive courtesy to our cool methods of sneaking me into the hotel. which worked quite well. first night we went on a hunt to find a nice cheap restaurant in the jewish ghetto, which is apparantlly the largest jewish collection of people in western europe.

we found the nice restaurant and had some good food. then we wondered around venice a bit, finding our way back to the hotel.

the ferry was good. we probably used it about 10 times and only payed once. they never checked our ticket, so we just kept using the same one.

the next day we went on a gondala ride...which was very nice. but expensive.

we wanderd around venice for a time, eating lots of gelato and taking in the sights.

venice is a very magestic city. i wonder how they built an entire city virtually on water...the ends of buildings literally stop at the water. its amazing.

venice was good. we saved money by going to a supermarket and buying groceries to last us for lunch (nutella and bread), and for breakfast we had a fridge in the room...

anyway i should go, im getting lots of stares by the travellers i am travelling with... :P

hopefully next time i can blog some more.

oh i saw the red light district last night...in amsterdam. very very unique. nothing like it. i'll try explain later.
