Contiki and Amsterdam

We got on our tour yesterday (Contiki--the ultimate in budget travel for 18-35 year olds), and took off for Amsterdam. Being the snoop that I am, I was looking at everyone's passports as they handed them to our tour manager, and I realized that I was 10 years older than some of these people. A little bit of a wake up call. We also had to stand up infront of the other 52 passangers and tell a little about our selves--I have to say that I had a brilliant joke about being from Vagina, Sas-scratch-your-bum.

We crossed at the White Cliffs of Dover on an extremely crowded boat, then we drove through Belgium and ended up in Amsterdam. We were then treated to a canal tour with as much alochol as we wanted---we sat with a girl from BC, another from Japan and a Kiwi guy. We easily became the loudest table in a mere few minutes. We've become known as the "Sisters". Shannon then shone when she (who has been to Amsterdam before) could show us all where the bathrooms were in emergency-stopping lightening quick speed.

Then we took a wobbly walk through the red light district. Very interesting, but it was pouring rain so we cut it short.

Moment of the day: The Canal Tour was absolutely fabulous!
