Amsterdam - May 2008


A group of 6 of us travelled over to Amsterdam for our friend Simons 30th Birthday, over the first long weekend in May.
We started with a bit of culture. Visiting Anne Franks House.


Did a walking tour, passing the canals and major sites of the City centre.


We then wandered through the Red Light District, and past the 'coffee shops'

Red Light District
We headed out for dinner for Simon's 30th. Italian, which was very nice. He seemed to have issues with his beer.


Our second night in town we decided to go on a pub crawl. This photo is at the first of six pubs. Jason, Simon, Sarah and Sean.

The drinks were flowing and it wasn't long...


until the dancing and singing up on the stage started! A great night was had by all.


The following (and final day of our trip) Sean and I headed a little way out of Amsterdam to do some shoe shopping.
Think this one might be a little too big for Sean. Quite comfy though, he tells me!


Our day was actually spent at Keukenhoff, a massive flower show (not unlike Floriade in Canberra). They say that 6million bulbs are planted by hand every year!


The area was so beautiful. I couldnt stop taking photos. I actually took photos until my battery ran out!
The colours were amazing. Every colour combination you could imagine.
