Day....whatever day it is..
So last night was blah. We took the train from Amsterdam around 3 to Brussels. We went early to Brussels so we could lok around but it wasn'nt worth it. It sucked really bad. It smelled like straight dog shit and there was literally dog shit everzwhere. The onlz good thing was the bum fight we saw as we left the train station. These bums just randomlz started brawling haha. We left Brussels at around midnight last night for Berlin. We thought hez, we can sleep on the train right? Not so muchhhh. There were 6 seats to a little cabing thing and we had 6 people-me, kzle, johann, and peter. We all got a few hours of yyyy's but overall we didnät get much sleep at all. We got to Berlin, walked around for awhile before finding a HOstel to staz in. Its caled the 'Heart of Gold'. It seems reallz straight but who knows. Hell its 5:15am here and we just got back from the pub crawl. The park bench looked straight if zou ask me. And zes, I'm not that drunk I know all of mz Y's are Z's because thez are opposite on this german kezboard. No more qwerty but instead qwertz. But were off to bed. We might do another pub crawl tomorrow night if we wake up in time (starts around 8pm haha). But take it easz in the usa and we will talk later....peace...

Day 3....
Ok whats upo guys...just getting in from the night out...pretty good day. We woke up really laye around 1:30 or so. Went out, went to the Heineken Expereicen (see picture below). After that we headed out and went to some big ass windmill that was a pretty good distance away. We rode our bikes all the way there. We rode arounmd town for awhile to check out the sites and \see what was up. We came back to the bar in the hostel and hung our for awhile to watch the under 21 futbol championship. Everyone was really puimped up because the Netherlands won and eeveryone here went crazy. We ate dinner there and hung out with some people. We chilled for happy hour and bought some drinks. We met a really cool guy from Finland name Joona. I think he might ride the train to Berlin with us tomorrow night which should be straight. We all ended up going out on the town. We toured the red light district which was really packed..I guess because its Saturday. Then we went to "Rembrandt Square" where the clubs are suppusodely. We walked around and went in a few clubs/bars. Nothing much going on so we just came back to the hostel now about 2:30. WE wanmted to find soime of the bars from last nights pub crawl but unfortunately we couldnt remember where they were haha....imagine that. But were headed off to bed now. Gotta wake up around 8 to eat breakfast, do laundry (blah), take our bikes back and check out of the hostel. But we'll try and update again tomorrow night. Later...
A picture...
So we woke up around 1 today and went to the "Heineken Experience"....it was definitely worth it. It costed 11euros but you got a pretty cool experience and 3 beers woot...unfortunately I forgot the camera but they have this cool thing set up so you can take a pic...check it out...

Day 2...
Ok so it's 4:15 in the morning here and we just got boack from the pub craaawl. It was pretty intense and definitely worth the 20euros that we paid. We didn't drink anything (haha) but we had fun dancing and chillilng with everyone. It's really cool hanging out with people from Pakistan, India, Italy, Turkey, England, and everywhere eles in the world at the same time. We met some people from our hostel and hung out with them today. They ended up taking the free walking tour with us which was really cool. There was so much about Amsterdam that we never knew and it was definitely worth the 5euros each that we tipped our tour guide. We met a girl from Turkey who was really cool on the trip and gave us some recomendations as to what to do in various cities. The walking tour ended up taking about 4 hours and we probably walked about 5+ miles, but it was worth it. When we wake up tomorrow, hopefully not too late, we plan on touring some museums around town. The first stop, ofcourse, will be the Heineken Museum, and from theres its up in the air.
Kyle and Peter are both asleep, lightweights, but I still hjave the dedication to power through the tiredness (if thats a word) to update this ish haha..But for everyone reading, thanks for the comments and what not. Its really cool to think that we are half a world away yet we can still manage to communicate in one way or another. Mom...you're crazy I know you're still crying ;-). Pops, maybe you can actually catch something now that the real fisherman aren't on board haha. Matt...the girls are either 50euros or covered in hair. You take your pick haha. For us, it's neither. While we were waiting for the tour to start today, I looked over and this chick seriuosly had more armpit hair than I did. I don't know if that's embarrasing or not haha. Cathy/Dr. Soldato....I tried to censor this as best as possible, sry for the "colorful" language. Wence, we took shots...we saw people take shots ;-)....of yeager tonight for you. Michelle, were alive, no worries the Italian Stallion shall return better than ever. Dara...I don't know what to say...wait...I think I just heard you say something..."chugalug"....yep I heard it. Creighton...you better be throwing down at the lake or something. We chugged....we saw some german fellas chug....some Heinekin for you tonight. "Momma Till"...maybe she'll come down to STate and do mine and Crieghtons laundrty eh? Maddie...don't worry we only have like 27 more days. Vandon, I love you ofcourse but its a good thing you didn't come. All that money you saved for the car woulda been in the Coach store cash drawer ;-).Everyone else, thanks for checking this out and hopefully the next hostel will have a computer as well. Should be able to post another update manana. Wow, I just looked out the window and the effin sun is coming up already....guess its another night with the sleep blinders thingmabobers on. I'm really not liking this sunset at 11pm and sunrise at 5am....but I guess it's like 11pm there. Everyone have a good one and hopefully we/I can have more updates tomorrow.....peace.
P.S. I think were gonna skip Copenhagen and go straight to Berlin. It's out of the way and very expensive....

Day 1
So yesterday was quite the adventure. It was definitely a lot of fun. After I left off yesterday, we went back out to a bar on some sketchy street. We started out just hanging out watching the Portugal v. Italy Futbol game and drinking some drinks. We ended up sitting at the bar with some crazy British guy for several hours. He was funny as hell telling us the craziest stories. Italy ended up winning the game in pks. Spike, the crazy Brit, ended up buyin all of us rounds so we hung out with him for awhile as we felt obligated haha. All of the bars here close at 1am which is pretty gay considering it doesn't get dark until 11 or so. We left the bar at 1 and roamed around the city for awhile. It was disturbing to see the number of people coming up to us asking to sell coke and ecstasy. The coolest part is the "toilets" on the sides of streets. Its pretty much a metal cirlce which you go in and pee on a concrete slab haha. But it gets light here at about 5:30 or 6 so theres only about 7 hours of darkness. Its 8:15 right now and I've already taken a shower and eaten my breakfast. I think we are going to take the free walking tour offered by the hostel today at 10:30. After that we are going to rent some bikes and ride around the city. Bikes are the way to go around here thats for sure. I think tonight we are going to do a pub crawl which should be pretty fun. This guy gave us a card yesterday and its definitely a pretty good deal. Check it out at www.joinultimateparty.com . Pretty much you meet up and they take you to different bars. You get a beer at each of the 6 bars and a shot between each bar. Sounds fun to me haha. But I'm gonna go try and take a little nap before the bike rental shop opens and before the walking tour...peace
WE MADE IT!
Good news...we made it haha. It was quite the adventure but we just checked in at the Hostel we will be staying in for the next 3 nights. We left PTI a little late around 2:45 ish for Newark. All went well and we arrived to Newark with about an hour left until take off. Unforutunately we ran into a 30 minute delay before boarding. Once we got on, it was "rush hour" on the runway and we had to wait for fourteen, yes fourteen, planes to take off in front of us as we watched. We ended up sitting on the runway for about an hour and finally headed out at about 7:00pm. The 7 hour flight seemed to drag on forever as we watched the gayest movie in the world "The Kid" or something like that. Luckily they served some bangin lasagna for dinner which was badass. It sucked hard though because we flew through the darkness and it was only dark for like 3 hours or so. We landed at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam around 8:15am. We managed to walk around the biggest airport In the fuckin world for atleast an hour haha. We finally managed to waste 3 euros on a train ticket that didn't even get checked on the train.
We got off in downtown Amsterdam. Needless to say we were 3 lost tourists and just followed the masses. The first place we stopped was a McDonalds that claimed they had ,75e fries but the bitches lied and they were 1,75e. But while standing in line, we saw this dude infront of us casually holding 2 joints ordering some food haha. We said f this and walked out and walked...and walked....and walked. We managed to get really lost on our way to our hostel that was "right behind that church" according to some sketchy homeless guy. We walked around turning maps upside down and rightside up. We finally managed to find the street we were on but they forgot to tell us the odds were on the left side of the street so we walked the entire right side of the street looking for 97...finally we asked some English chick and she pointed us in the right direction. Thanks english chick, and f you homeless guy. But its 11:35am here, nad 5:35 at home. We all got about 1 to 1.5 hrs of sleep on the plane so were all running on straight adrenaline right now haha. Hope to be back on later but only hadve 35 seconds left on this computer....later guys
P.S.....its true, they sell weed
