Holly and Lisa, the travelling gong-show visits


My very very good friend Holly from Calgary in the lulu days is doin up Europe with her friend Lis for a few weeks as they landed in Sweden to visit the Jer and did some country hopping which included a little stop in the A'dam! They were suppose to arrive on a Monday and when I didn't hear form them that day I thought they were kidnapped. Good thing I checked facebook as they accidentally ended up in Poland. Let's just say their story of it was, get on a bus, pass out and wake up in Brussels (if I remember correctly), but instead it was get on a bus, pass out and wake up in ... lithuania? let's just say their story also invovled a little alcohol... but they made it safe and sound and I hosted these lovely ladies for two nights and it was good times as they also met some of the dudes on the boat: Lou, Adrien and Davide, and also met up with Holly and Jer's friend Jon who also lives and works in A'dam.







went to a bar that was around the corner of the boat - that was another boat. had some drinks and then they closed by about 1am... then lou and andrien brought out the sheesha and we went up to the upper decks of the boat with some choco and tea as well.




Last night in A'dam, the girls wanted to go out and meet up with their friend jon, joined by the doods again; we met him at 1230 am at spui and tried to find a place that was open.. we eventually ended up at some club in rembrandtplein that was open until 330am.
(warning - the following video is blair witch stylz... it was tricky trying to hold the camera still while riding a bike on the street going at full speed...and then stopping.. and then speeding up again...)





some interesting socks Lisa bought


we naturally had to bike to the centre and had the girls on the back of bikes; Lisa on the back of Davide's and Holly on the back of Andrien's (they reversed it later haha)... let's just say there was lots of screaming haha.

they finally strolled through the very sketchy red light district at 4am on a Thursday. I can't believe Holly went out that late considering he flight was at 8am the next day back to Copenhagen (which means she had to leave the boat at 6am). I passed out right away and when I woke up to go to work (not fun) she was gone! Lisa later left that day to go to Paris but I let her snooze on.

Thanks for the great time ladies!
