Amsterdam Day 2

Went out for breakfast Wednesday morning and had a bit of a stroll around. We had visited the red light district the night before, which was ahem 'interesting!

Went back to the hotel where we had managed to get another room that wasn't too bad (but barely rates 1 star). Had a lay down and here we go again, blooody room started to spin!

Cutting a long story short, after a 2 hour walk to find a doctor and another 30 minute walk to find a pharmacy, it was 6.55pm and I had arranged to meet my old mate Eric Ward (at 7pm) whom I had met previously a couple of times in the USA. (He just happened to be in Amsterdam at the same time as us).

Grabbed a pedicab back to the hotel, quick change of clothes and grabbed a cab to try to find Eric. You wouldn't believe it, his hotel was just around the corner from the pharmacy we had left 35 minutes (and about 50 euros) ago!

Finally caught up with Eric and had a great night hanging out with him at his hotel and visiting afew coffee shops.

Below are a couple of pics from that night...
