Were not sure if it was the fact that we walked around too much on Friday and Saturday and went to a club too many or if it was actually the magic cake that wore us out so much. Amazing, it was only Banana Cake with the secret ingrediant. We wandered around, did some shopping on the gay street which we can never remember the name of so called Diagonally. Nipping over for a spot of breakfast at a Patisserie, we wandered up to "Mr B's" to check out their leather shop and to buy the compulsory Mr B's Tee Shirt that you see so many of arond the scene in London. Call it a gay version of collecting a Hard Rock Cafe Tee Shirt.
Mikey insisted that he purchased something for Alex in a very large store called C&A. It was the biggest C&A I have ever seen, with 6 floors of retail space and all the alure of a Ross Dress for Less store with Bargain Bucket after Bargain Bucket of cheap clothes. It was enough to make us feel queasy. Was it that we were alergic to C&A? Mikey said he once purchased a Tee Shirt for Alex there and told him it was from Cest u Na. Alex fell for it momentarily until the rash started to develop on his Luxury Branded label only skin. So once more Mikey bought him a tee shirt never to be worn.
Suddenly the sun was shining but we were shattered so decided we would go out later in the evening and to go back and watch some television. The Hotel had BBC1 and CNN in English. We watched for a while and before long our eyes were heavy and we dozed off. Only to awake at 1145 pm. We had slept from 0400 - Noon then 4Pm till Midnight. Opps.
Waking so late we showered, dressed and headed off for a wander around the red light district. Window after window of girl dressed in underwear underneath the dim glow of Red light strip that everyone of these windows had. Walking up the canal under a canopy of Neon and an aroma of marajuana floating out of the endless coffee shops.
Having missed dinner we stopped at Febo. A kind of fast foodery selling, burgers, fries and snacks. All fries here are served with delicious Fresh Mayonaisse and they sell burgers, chicken burgers, spring rolls etc out of the hot vending machines on the walls. Insert coin, open flap and hot snack away. Was preety impessive and so cheap.
Stopped in a Bar on Diagonally for a couple of stiff drinks. Seems you ask for a Jack Daniels and Coke and get a tripple no matter where you go.
Came back to the room around 230 and having had a fabulous time went back to sleep. Busy week ahead with work and wedding and stuff to plan so didnt want to be overly exhausted.
Four hours before Flight I am missing Dusan already. Its only been three days but his always in my heart and mind.
So it is with fond eyes we bare fairwell to Amsterdam. I'm sure we will be back soon as I just know Dusan will love it. :-)
