Amsterdam Duo








On the morning of Day 2, our next door neighbors from Portland, Eric and Brian arrived. (They send a shout out to Janet and regarding the cat-sitting, please remember to express their anal-glands daily, thx.) Anywho... they met us at our flat and greeted us in Oregonian sign language (read right to left, it says "high"). Coffeeshop Rob&Hans... cheers...

Eventually, we emerged from 69 Marnixkade...








At some point we rented our bikes for the week and went exploring...












We had a late second lunch... deep fried Dutch food mostly. Nothing to sneeze at, but don't tell that to Rob.





Biking further...

Romance is a stroll past a public urinal.














Mixing it up amongst the sculptures in Rembrandt's Park...Having Amstels on the Amstel...

From there we moved on to a canal view coffeeshop...
This guy emerged dressed as a bishop. Seems it was a bachelors party...







We moved a view doors down to a "brew pub."





And later to this funky old bar.







Here we're calling on Eric and Brian at their fancy digs...


Ending the day with a good meat (and two veg) dinner...





Late at night as i was preparing this blog, there was a special show on Comedy Central Netherlands. It was called "Badly Dubbed Porn." In tonight's episode, the pirate classic "Coconut Island" was dubbed badly into Dutch.
