Amsterdam: Bingo...

On our last day in Amsterdam we decided to do a slightly more cultural walking tour and visited the Homomonument and walked past the Anne Frank House too. We also went to Café De Jaren for a rather marvellous lunch. In the evening we ventured to The Queen's Head to play gay bingo. Lordy, lordy.

Amsterdam: The Park...

A little hungover from last night we decided to do a bit of exercise to walk it off. We headed up through Leidseplein into the beautiful Vondelpark for a bit of a mosey around. The weather was gorgeous - as it had been all weekend. In the evening we headed back to De Engel Van Amsterdam in Zeedijk for more beers. And bears.

Amsterdam: The Boys...

What a fab day this was! We got to meet Darren's friends Jos and Jos who introduced us to Marcel, Derkjan, Dave and all the gang. We went on a ferry for some lunch, to some bars for beers, to watch some drag queens sing some Dutch 'classics' and back to some more bars for more beers. Great fun and everyone was so nice.

Amsterdam: Holiday Sick...

Why, of why do I get sick whenever I go away. Spent the afternoon and evening in bed coming down with a cold. Bah!

Amsterdam: Here we come...

Our flight was at 4pm. Darren, Mark, Stu and I were off to Amsterdam for five nights of fun and frolics.

We were staying in a last minute booking - Eden Rembrandt Square Hotel - which was really rather swish.

On our first night we hit the bars the got our bearings. Taboo for beers then Ecco for eats.
