Image Gallery Part 5

Venue: Amsterdam
Date: 22-26/11/2003
Team Members Present: Pearson, Gilly, Tooma + Richie

A big building, there was some nice scenery in Amsterdam.

The team arriving at the Amstel Botel, where we stayed.

A better look at the Botel.

The bar on the Botel. The only beer they served was called Leuww. Tasted good to us though.

The breakfast area on the Botel. Tooma may have taken advantage on the free food part.

The view from the front of the Botel. Quite nice.

The view from the back of the Botel. Not so nice!

The view from our room, how stereotypical.

We walked past this place every day. The central station for buses and trams, however we decided walking was probably safer.

On our first night in Amsterdam we went looking for some bars, Pearson spotted this Australian bar called Coco's. Their slogan was 'Lousy Food and Warm Beer' . We opted to go somewhere else.

Amsterdam pigeons are different to those back in England. We were able to walk upto these and tap them with our foot and they simply wouldn't move.

Tooma disobeying orders on the Ferry. Unless he is a crew member and just didn't tell us?

We thought it was a good laugh to feed the ducks space cake. They wasted no time in eating it, stoned ducks - cheap laughs.

Glad we didn't have to use this, the lifeboat on the ferry.

We were treated to a nice firework display outside the botel.

Gilly and Pearson found an N-Gage, personal joke but hilarious for us.

This was Gilly's last sandwich, so Tooma started singing the final countdown, but changed the words to "This is the final Breadbun".

The reality about going to Amsterdam kicked in on Pearson and Gilly.

Gilly heading back home on the ferry.

Tooma thouroughly enjoying himself on the pacman game in the Botel.

Gilly and Tooma eating space cake while enjoying some 'Adult Entertainment'.

Tooma found this shop name funny, strange how he finds little things amusing.

The main street next to the Botel, this is where Richie had his phone nicked.

We found Nemo!

Pearson asleep in the Botel.

And again on the Ferry.

Pearson playing pool in the Botel.

Why is Pearson wearing a shower cap?

Tooma got this Penguin for his birthday, it provided some more cheap laughs.

More of the scenery, didn't bother finding out what any of it was though.

Richie came well stocked with food and drink.

I've got the number for weightwatchers if you need it Richie.

Richie and Pearson relaxing in the Botel.

Richie enjoying himself on the pinball machine.

Coffeeshop Smokey - we lived here all day.

The team relax in the Botel room.

Enjoying ourselves on the ferry deck at 3am.

We're going to Amsterdam!

Tooma in Amsterdam.

And Tooma on the ferry in the middle of the night, freezing cold according to everyone else, but he still wears just a shirt.

Tooma and Gilly 'relax' after some space cake.

Tooma enjoying more 'Adult Entertainment'.

The main train station called Centraal Station.

It's heading right for us. At least we noticed this tram, other trams didnt bother stopping.

Thes outdoor urinals were great, you could be having a piss with people walking past, scary.

Wally welcomed the team back from Amsterdam, after seeing him we only wished we were back there.

You may think this is another scenery photo with the posh building, but it isn't. See the man playing the xylophone, well 'playing' didn't really describe it. More like hitting it with a stick to no tune whatsoever.
