Amsterdam, it begins...

Day one in Amsterdam, hooked up w. an Austrian backpacker on the night train from Copenhagen to the Netherlands. We didn't have seats booked to we had to sit gypsy style on the floor in the back car. Very noisy, but authentic. We finally got a cabin but didn't really sleep...we chatted about life and laughed into the morning. So, without sleep I've crossed Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands and spent the day exploring the coffee shops of Amsterdam w. the Austrian. Now, I'm thinking an evening boat tour, then catching some Zzz's before tomorrow when I will seriously explore this place.
Till Later
Cheers,
Petra

Dude, Amsterdam must be good if you're too 'busy' to update the blog :) You have no idea how much I hate you right now, traipsing around Europe while I'm ... eh...yeah.
Talk to you in 2 weeks, maybe we'll hook up earlier then August for a few days. Jerk.
