TJ and I went to Amsterdam in April with another couple visiting from the States, but this time we took my BF, Rebecca and had another super fun time! Last time we did the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, and a canal tour...but this time instead of going to the Van Gogh Museum we went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum to hang with some of our favorite waxy celebrities! Here are the highlights...
Bec and JT...we like to pretend she is his date to an event in this one!
Me and my longtime boyfriend (since 1987), Mr. Bon Jovi - excuse us while we smooch!
TJ hung out with a British DJ and spun some records for a bit while Bec and I said hello to some others...
And then before leaving he had to say hey to J-Lo and her big booty!
Bec and I did visit the Anne Frank Museum and take a canal ride...but the rest of the time was mostly spent in bars and restaurants. This is Bec at our first night:
It was where we met Bob and Loraday, a couple from the US about your parent's age. They loved us though- especially Bec and myself with our funny catholic stories. We continued on there for most of our night, had dinner, and christened the hotel bar later on.
The next night we went to the movies before dinner...and that was an experience! We decided to see New Moon as I am a fan of the books and we could get it in English there. We could get it here in D-Land as well, but we would have to wait until the 26th (which is the opening night of the Mannheim ChristmasMarkt). We also couldn't go on the 27th (ex-pat Thanksgiving), or after that as we leave for Hawaii...so that left Amsterdam. So the movie theatre was huge and mass chaos. There were tweens everywhere! And once we got in the theatre there were only like a dozen seats left with the rest filled with much younger people screaming and freaking out. It was hysterical! We couldn't stop laughing- but were thrilled when a couple of people in the neighborhood of our age came in! So the movie begins and it is another screamfest! I am telling you I have never seen a movie that had an experience like this, and it continued through the credits. The girl sitting next to TJ recited every word and then clapped if she got a sentence right...crazy. Any way it was a good movie and far better than Twilight. Clearly, after that we need food and drinks...but not necessarily in that order. Here we are in the Mexican Restaurant- with me after my 2nd margarita in 15 minutes.
It continued throught the rest of the night- complete with a stroll down the RLD so Bec could experience it for the first time. One time is enough for us! Amsterdam does not disappoint- with fun around every corner and in the least expected places!
Auf Wiedersehen!
