Utrecht --> Amsterdam
Hello again,
After a long break from travelling due to the rediculous amount of catch up work after Barcelona we managed to get some travelling in. Another Uviccian who's studying in Sweden, Andrew, stayed with us for a couple nights in Maastricht. He was lucky enough to stick around for the night of our's as well as most other's last exam. It seemed like everyone was partying that night and after shots of absenth it turned out to be one of the craziest and fun nights in Maastricht.
The next day Andrew decided to join Alex and I for our trip to Utrecht and Amsterdam (Both in the Netherlands). We were able to stay with my friend I met back at UVic, Paul, who lives in Utrecht. Upon our arrival in Utrecht, we were greeted with beer upon more beer. Great hospitality in this country ;). We played some Irish drinking games and learned some Dutch in the process.
Paul and his friends were great guys to party with and showed us a bunch of bars around Utrecht. You could definately tell Utrecht was a student city with students filling up the rediculous amount of bars. We checked out around four bars with one having over 200 beer on tap. Sure beats ol' Felicita's. After two months I got to have delicious Canadian beer again. Liquid gold I tells ya. After our many shanigans and acting like Austrian thugs the whole night we were ready to hit the sack.
The next morning we set for Amsterdam for, yes, the third time. But this time it was to see a famous house DJ Axwell. We decided to pre-drink on one of our favourite places in Amsterdam; the grass roof of the Alber Heijn. We then met up with some French friends to head out to a house party. Unfortunately, they map skills weren't as good as their ability to parade around in a pink scarf. But that's ok, we decided to head to Escape anyways, to go see Axwell. What a show that was! They sure know how to make a show in Amsterdam. This was the second time I was at this club but they really rigged it up this time. Good music, drinks, light shows and ladies until 5:30AM. Once the show was over we head to head to the train station and had to wait for the train for a couple hours. Not having slept that night really made the two hours plus the three hours back that much more enjoyable but it was definately worth it.
All in all, Amsterdam delivered yet again and we were able to check out another cool Dutch town. After a day and a half re-cooperation my roomate and I were Terrance and Phillip for Halloween. It really is ture, fart jokes never do get old, haha. This weekend is the start to a crazy month:
Weekend 1: Salzburg --> Prague
Weekend 2: Leiden --> Giant Armin Van Buuren rave in Rotterdam
Weekend 3: Rome for 4 days --> Brussels
Weekend 4: Tiesto in De Haag!
Weekend 5: Berlin or Paris
Weekend 6: Zurich, Switzerland
We're halfway through and there's no slowing down. Going to have to bump it up a notch to really take advantage. Farewell for now, hope you all are enjoying yourselfs!
