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

Haha thanks everyone. We finally managed to get some sleep today for about 3-4 hours in the hostel. Right now its like 10:35 and it's still light out. I guess it gets dark around 11 or so. We went crusin through the red light district and saw some funny stuff. We stopped and grabbed a brew and chilled for a little while. But were gonna go grab another and watch some soccer. I'll update again tomorrow or something...later
