Day 1-2

Hallo from Amsterdam. I just arrived at the hotel here. It is 6pm, and we have been on the road since 7 this morning. The flight over was uneventful, my "kids meal"was food I would not eat. Pasta with sauce and meatballs :( so I had chips for dinner on the plane, I slept about an hour maybe, I was just not tried at all, even though I purposely didn't sleep much the night before. When we got to London we meet another Contiki person, who was on a different tour and hung out with him a bit. We went and checked into the hotel in London, tiny room with two twin beds, but it had a nice view. We then went to a pub for lunch, Steph and Tris got fish and chips, I was too hungry to try soemthing new that I got a burger with cheddar cheese. And yes the cheese is different, but I liked it ok. We wandered around and saw Buckingham Palace then went down to Big Ben and Westminster Abby. I loved listening to all the British talk :D That was all we had time for before a mandatory meeting with Contiki. We went to a cute little place for dinner, I got a ham a chesse sandwich which was on amazing bread. Then at 8pm we went to bed and got up this morning at 6am.

our tour manager is hilarious and amazing, and Australian LOVE HER ACCENT!!

We were on the bus all day, saw the white cliffs of Dover and took the ferry over to France. Drove thru France and Belgium to get to the Neatherlands. Tonight we have dinner at 6:30 and then we are off to do a canal cruise a tour of the red light district, and go to a "ballet", which I guess according to our tour manager, Kelly, in Amsterdam a ballet is a sex show that you watch. To be continued tomorrow about what exactly this "ballet"is....Need to go take my luggage up to my room before dinner, just wanted to write real quick to let everyone know I am here safe and sounds and what we have done so far.
Tomorrow-Anne Frank house, Van Gough museum and Sex museum.....
bye for now
