daytripping Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Top tip: Galwanians use the word 'fenian' as a greeting. My top tip is to write the name of your hotel down on a bit of paper, I got there pissed and thought my hotel was next to a canal and a bridge, didn't realise that was the same as the whole place, took fucking hours finding my way back, was only till I described the hotel doorman having a top hat to the 50th taxi driver I got back, fucking nightmare. Did the same in Krakow, why go out when you don't know where you're staying????? it's fucking madness. Link to comment

There's loads to Amsterdam, in all areas. Eg de pijp which is just outside the centre but still worth visiting. Can alway jump on short train to Haarlem. Worth s visit sldo Link to comment

You saying mobby is an uncultured heathen?That's a bit rough Your more the afternoon canal drinker, reading the Telesport newspaper, before stumbling home when it gets dark with a bag of cheese and ham. Mobby represents more the seedy tourist, roaching about the back lanes of the RLD at 3am, partaking in Peruvian flake to help with rimming his new birds bleached starfish. Link to comment

Poodler Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Head around the bars in the centre/red lighter Take a tram down to De Pjip - lots of decent bars there, away from the centre I love the place I can give you a number, if you need.Cheers Bloots/ Mobby. Nae number needed though, I will be with the new bird who frowns upon the mischief but will happily take a jaunt funded by its proceeds. Link to comment

Tommy Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 If you go to Ann Frank House, best to book a time online and turn up at allocated slot.Don't pre book and the queue is horrendous. Don't consume alcohol at same time as having a spliff. Guess you'll know that. Enjoy. Link to comment
