Saturday - Cleaning city

It was amazing, I got up at 10.38 in the morning... I was already awake for two hours. I went online. I talked with some friends, and at one I received an sms that they Nihan, Clement, Beatrice and Verim will not come to Rotterdam just will visit Amsterdam. So I send a new one to ask them till when they would stay in Amsterdam. I left already the house, with the possibility that I would jump on the tram and go to Amsterdam.... and yes they would stay till 2 or 3 in the night in Amsterdam; so it was worth to go still at 3 to Amsterdam. I arrived at 16.20 and in 10 minutes I was at the meeting point and just a few minutes later my friends were there... I didn't had to ask where they just cam from... ;) Why does people come to Amsterdam besides the red light destrict... ;)

I showed them around in Amsterdam, I went to the "begijnenhof" which is in the middle of the center, but so quiet.... also there is an English Church. Then we went for a nice long walk before we had dinner, after dinner we went to the Leidseplein to have some nice drinks. It was possible to skate there on the ice :)


Nihan and Beatrice watching the iceskaters


After we watched the persons on the ice, we went first to the Irish pub, a hole in the wall, which was ok. Then we walked again for 30 minutes and ended up at the same square to drink some more in the Rock and Roll bar, that was cool. A Harley Davidson in the bar ;) Jimmy Hendriks Posters, etc :) After drinking here again one drink, we went on with our pubcrawl :)

Me, Nihan still from Aegee Çanakkale, Clement and Verim.


Isn't it nice :)

Isn't it cool? ;)

But first they wanted to see the redlight destrict when it was dark, and they just had visited one street and not all the nice small streets ;) So, we went back to our meetingpoint and then the redlight destrict... as "nice" as always. On our way we found a nice Irish Pub, where they had live music. So after walked a bit more, we went back to that Irish Pub. The guy had just his guitar and voice, but it was so great. Real music!


Kevin the musician


We stayed there till 1, then we walked again to another place where they should have had live music, but that was already ended, and since there was a Hells Angel was the guard at the door I didn't want to go there anymore. We ate "krentebollen" at the Leidseplein, which is a Dutch treat during the weeks before New year. Then we walked back to the trainstation, since there car was near that place, and I needed to go back by train. I was lucky. I came on the railway station at 1.35, and at 1.42 the train should leave, but it did at 1.50 :) I came in Rotterdam at 3, since I was so sleepy I took a taxi, and got home at 3.15 :)
