Ends and beginings
hi everyone
lets finish the end:
Amsterdamn
ok all of you are going to think im wrong and broken when i say this but amsterdam was my favorite place on the tour. and no it wasnt because of the sex and drugs (although that was perhaps a small part of it :P) its just an amazing place with something for everyone
saw quite bizarre and hilarious things at the sex show. people actually had sex right in front of me(makes sense with that name huh?) but it was def not a turn on. but damn do they make it look easy to bend like playdo! anyway, i dont think i would go again but i felt it was my duty to go and see it as first timer in amsterdam. and no ash i didnt take photos - punishment for you not coming to amsterdam - no in all seriousness they break cameras if you try to take photos.
we went down big mama ally which i think is sufficent and ample description on what there is to offer! we did some drugs but i gotta say the pot there is very mild! didnt feel much so decided not to keep wasting money.my mates wallet got nicked so had to do a bit of running around with that.
but the day was much nicer. i biked around amsterdam and it was the most beautiful feling with the wind if my face, the sun bathing me, the feel of the smooth track below me. its hard to imagine a more serene exp. then i checked out the van gough museum and the rijsk museum (it has rembrandt and vermeer paintings) i was so excited cos i studied them in HS...i actually did happy dance! but all together it was awesome and then we partied a bit as the end of the tour
we went to brussels the nxt day for lunch but since im not a massive choc fan it really didnt do it for me. fiona a gal on tour licked her plate (a bit gross actually)
after that we said good bye to the tour in London and went to our very nice little appartment in London. we hadnt realsied it was an apartment so we were pleasently surprised esp cos we were the only inhabitants. we met some nice americans and we went out for a few drinks with them. HEAPS of fun!! the next day we wondered the sites of london
- buckingham palace: saw a parade!! i belive they call it chaning of the guards
- we saw west minister abby-big ben
- tregalfure sq
- picadiilly: a bit of a let down really
- tower of london and tower bridge (the famous one cos the real london bridge is a little shit house and the tower of london is actually a castle. go figure)
could i live in london? that was the big question and the reason i forced shoba to stay there for 2 days. hell yes! there is so muh to do. so many galleries, museums, theater, opera and just stuff hapening that it boggòed my mind. cant wait to go there!!
after that i came to Florence and so far its just been about becoming aquainted with the whole place. getting it together. our apartment is gorgeous. all the furniture is antique italian, and the paintings are all very famous ones such as Devinci last supper! tres cool!! starting uni tomorrow so looking forward to that too (yes im a nerd) but will keep you guys posted. thanks to everyone that posted

My goodness reading through your updates so much. I actually wasn't planning to go to Auchwitz but now I definitely am. You have inspired me. Milan hosts "The Last Supper" not Florence, but Florence still has better art and architecture. Michaelangelo's David is astonishing. It is a real statement when you can make something so simple look so perfect. Make sure you go there.
Cheers,
