if the crowds bother ya, i'd suggest mid-may for amsterdam. weather is beautiful, hotel and airfare are reasonable if you book early (like january) and since its just after the major holidays, the major influx is dissipated
Kinda for us... our main trip is to Greece in the middle of may. We just decided to bump the trip up a little to catch Queensday in A-dam...
Well, when you come right down to it there's never a "bad" time to be in Amsterdam. 2 days to go...although mentally I left a long time ago.
gay (masculine) couple from Tampa coming over for Queens Day - looking to hang out with cool people. Celebrating my 39th birthday. Is the boat full? Anyone ever do shrooms? I'd like to try them....any suggestions? How many do you eat? What effect does it give you? Long live the Queen!
Fedor - For me it's one holiday of many! I get bucket loads of holiday days/earned days(40) off a year and usually squeeze in 4 or 5 trips abroad. I have friends in Holland so only ever have to pay for a flight... Mopperm - our original plans may be going tits up (the boat owner has problems of a nefarious nature) so my previous excuse for not joining you may no longer apply. Do you think 10 of us will overload things far too much? I appreciate that it's late in the day now and so many others have already added to the numbers, so don't worry if it's a problem; my friends have been coming up with contingency plans so I was just curious as to our chances. Tampon - If my plans do go tits up then you're welcome to join us in the random pursuit of fun(gi) subject to what mein hosts decide we do. We're all straight and about half of us are masculine (i.e. we piss standing up - I assume that's what you meant ..... ) Koopa - a big thank you. You know what I'm talking about. It's late and we're leaving for the airport in 3 hours, going to grab some shut eye - speak to you all on Amsterdam time
Thanks man! Hey "Brainless" it looks like the guys on that boat are on my team. We depart Tampa tomorrow for Amsterdam. It's in the mid 80's here so i'm looking forward to cooler temps! PS - don't hold it against us that we are Americans. We hate George W. Bush too!
hey everybody, unable to leave messages as pc been fecked but nowat media cntre so just want to say im leaving in the morning for a-dam and see u guys friday at de kuil.
No, I wish I was in the Dam too, although away from the crowds, somewhere tucked away in a dark wood panel candle lit coffeeshop/bar with potent hypnotic trance music playing while sipping a large beer with several fat joints infront of me with no care in the world.
Tampon - who said anything about hating GWB? I love him, thinking he's the greatest thing to happen to world peas, the enviroment, cheep oil, and gives English politicians a reason not to fulfil their commitments at home.... he's the bitch. I've been busy but don't have whereabouts to explain properly... I'm here, it's all good. Why be elsewhere?
more about not being in amsterdam on queens day, as far as i can tell you gonna have half of holland on that boat. i can see the headlines now: houseboat sinks, 1501 people missing.
hi there, we are coming over from Brighton, England, for our second Queen's Day. . . but this time only for about 36hrs and no hotel . . . but then again we didn't sleep last time! what we are asking for, is recomendations for a club on FRI and SAT night; last year we did Mezzo but i see it's now closed. we are into funky, vocal house with some HARD thrown in for the hell of it. ( a few comfy seats wouldn't come amiss either ) it also needs to be over 50s friendly and not TOO straight. i'm sure that's not too much to ask form a place like Amsterdam looking forward to hearing from those of you in the know thanks lady zooty and zero jones
Well it's over...This is ISPICA signing off. I'm off to the airport for a quick Bloody Mary and a short flight to the spiritual capital of Amsterdam. The lap top stays home. End transmission
Today i had to go to school, but ive next week off. We get days off during the christian holidays (including a 2nd day of christmas, a 2nd day of easter, 2 days of pentecost etc). Uhm newyears day, queensday, the day we were liberated from Germany in WW II, thats all i can think of for now. I still have the schoolvacations, so ive more days off anyway.
