Lads jolly to Amsterdam for a friends 40th (pics)
#1
I've just spent a very pleasant weekend in Amsterdam. I tagged along with the 'pool lads' as I know a few of them (plus my brother) so got an invite for 'Dave the Hens' 40th birthday weekend. I've been to the Dam before and whilst it's a good place I'm not overly impressed with it - but anywhere for a lads weekend is always quality.  Cool 

After a short flight (under an hour) we found the b&b, dropped bags off and got out for a wander as it was 10am Friday morning. On of many bars ...

Then off to another called 'The Last Waterhole'. Went back here Friday evening as they had some good bands on. Really good place.

Newspaper front pages as wallpaper in parts of the place and graffiti and streetart in others.

One issue we did have to watch was the stairs in Amsterdam. Steep is an understatement ...

Best bar of the day was this quirky place.

Up and out Saturday and this bar was the place I paid the most for a pint on the weekend. It was normally 6 Euros, but I managed to get a pint of Affligem Blonde without checking and got my pants pulled down for 10 Euros.  Confused

Found a great bar to watch the FA Cup final in, but Birthday boy was struggling again ...

Decided we would get some food, but gave this place a miss ....

Back to the Quirky bar again Saturday evening ...

And even managed to grab a scenic pic whilst wandering home in the very early hours of the morning.

We have plenty of daft stories. Eating a spoonfull of raw chilli as a 'dare' in a restaurant then pretty much passing out, offering someone pushing infront in toilets to a 'Cock Fight', 20 minutes on the floor in a comatose state after trying a spliff for the first time and saying "There is nothing to this" ... then BANG! ... and much much more!  Tongue So, the usual lads weekend away.  Wink Cool
