Hey again folks!!

Right, well it is actually only 4 in the afternoon, but tonight we are heading out to LA, so we decided to get the blog written to give you all your fix!

This morning, we had to check out of our lovely Amsterdam Hostel at 10am. It was very sad, a few tears were shed...well, maybe not, but they have done us well so we just hope that the future hostels live up to it...

One incident last night after we finished the day's blog entry. We went upstairs to the room to find that one of our matresses was missing! the room has two bunk beds, and the top bunk unfortunately had no ralings, whcih we felt was a risk to our personal safety and death through sleep rolling was a definite possibilty. SO we decided to put one of the top mattresses on the floor to sleep on. The staff must do checks on the rooms during the day and they took the mattress...what they thought we were doing with it is unclear...holding a hostage? Making some kind of fort? Sneaking a handsome young man candy? Who knows, but they half inched it none the less, and left us bedless for the night... Laura stepped up to the plate and slept on the top bunk, clinging on for dear life. It was funny last night...

So, today we went out for breakfast at another Loris' diner and ate our body weight in trans fats and maple syrup. YUM! With the rest of the day to kill, we basically have been wandering around the union square area of san fran. We headed off for SHOPPING!!!! (although it was H&M so dont get too excited folks) where Jess picked up some much needed warm clothes and Laura picked up a sick bag (you'll know what we mean when u see it!). After that char went all E.T on us and decided to fone home so we picked up a fone card and spent roughly 40 mins (no joke) figuring out how to use it. A call to customer services and a really obvious answer later and char was happily chatting away.

We then went to macy's to pretend we could afford the perfume. jess spent a while debating whether to charge to her credit card (but dont worry lynne she was responsible and didnt). We really only went in to use the loo.... and get stamps for postcards, which the lucky family members out there will be getting soon.

After all that strenuous activity we decided a sit was in order, and b*****ing hell did we sit, in the sun, at great length. So thats about all folks, you must understand we hav roughly 5 hours to kill and not an awful lot to do so this is why you have just finished reading a bloody boring blog. Ah well u'll get over it, and enjoy it while you can coz there may not be one for a while..... (there prob will to be honest coz aside from illegal drinking the blog is all we have in the long cold night). ANYWHO, we r off now to do some street performances or maybe some more sitting.... whatever passes the time... maybe we'll just eat more. Catch you next time. And sorry for the drivel x
