We arrived in Amsterdam late afternoon with our first stop being at the cheese and clogs factory where I sampled some of the most amazing cheese I have ever tasted and learnt how clogs are made from scratch. From here we checked into our Botel (Hotel on a boat!) and then made put way into town on the ferry. Did a short walking tour in the pouring cold rain then headed our separate ways to find somewhere warm and dry to eat. After dinner met the group again at the Grasshopper then headed off to a "show". Next morning we headed into town for the day on the bus and due to the weather we all decided to ditch the bike tour and go to the Heineken Museum instead. We caught the tram back into town got a bit of shopping done after which we headed back to the Botel to dry off and change for our last night on tour dinner and canal cruise. Bronwyn suggested we have a white t-shirt party where we all bought a white shirt each and everyone got to sign each others shirts. It was hilarious some of the things that were written and we all enjoyed the fact that we were writing on each other. After dinner at the Sea Palace we headed off on the boat for the canal cruise. With free flowing drinks a great time was had. We were dripped off at the clubs/pubs part of town andrhe group headed to a couple of bars before settling on the Royalty bar where we had one of the best nights of the trip dancing to non stop great music. We even managed to get a couple of our trip song requests in there and that just set the dance floor off! A very hard start to the next morning and we were on our final leg of the tour. Kind of a sad day with most of us feeling the effects of the night before and not happy that the tour was finishing :-( But nothing a stop in Brugge couldn't fix! I have never eaten some much yummy food in such a short period of time before! Practically had to be rolled onto the bus. Between the famous Frites, waffles with banana and ice-cream as well as Belgium chocolate, I was in eating heaven! Finished off the journey with Brian and the Topdeck bus in Calais and jumped on the ferry to head back to Dover. Got back to Umi and met up with Cara at the motel and then headed to dinner at the Gourmet Burger KItchen with some of the group before hitting the sack for the night xox
