Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll. Amsterdam!

It's pretty amazing how tolerant the Dutch are about sex and drugs.Just had a walk about Amsterdam's famed red light district. It's quite unreal how the girls put themselves in front of a mirror and parade themselves in their lingerie. Like real life manequins. And how the "coffee shops" all over Amsterdam sell joints.

This past week has been just amazing. From the beer halls of Munich, to the mountain tops of the Swiss Alps.Downhill (or mountain actually) cycling in Austria must take a special mention. 7 minutes of down slope going at 60-70km/h is such a rush! Bed and breakfast in a small German village, Watching Liverpool beat Chelsea in Lautenburren (Go Reds!), it really doesn't feel like it's been 3 weeks already.

I must really be thankful for the wonderful company I've been having on this tour, and the great new friends we've made along the way.

Europe has been everything that it was made up to be.

Visiting Anne Frank's house and the Heineken brewery tomorrow. Free booze! Woohoo!
