Figured I would make a separate thread for this, since I'm going to be posting LOTS of photos, and there will be too much to cram into the other thread.

 

Today's the day :haz: starting with a 14 hour bus ride from Birmingham to Amsterdam, with a 2 hour layover in London. Will be arriving in Amsterdam around 9am tomorrow.

 

To start things off here's the before the trip profile, since I won't be shaving. Can't find the room to pack the razor and shaving cream. I don't like facial hair so I haven't tried before. Let's see how much of a babyface I am.

Off to Amsterdam :haz:

I've spent considerable time in Amsterdam as a stopping point between destinations. It felt ominous for some reason. It was weird. As I walked the streets and went to the shops I enjoyed the sights. However, the street crooks are many. Circumspection is required. Have fun though, much to be had.

Lol. Went on a similar jaunt in 96. Went from Colorado to London to Brussels, Amaterdam, Northern Germany, Prague, Vienna back to Amsterdma. Then back to Bligty, edinbrough then London then home. I also didnt shave. It was kind of uncomfortable and I ended up buying a razor about 3 weeks in. I am a beard wearer now and feel much more comfortable.

 

Have fun stay safe and take lots of pics.

A'dam is surely one of the easiest places to sink.

Guess he didn't look at the exchange rate before he left and the hookers in Amsterdam were more expensive than he thought.

Didn't see this thread before today either! I hope your trip is going well!! My son did one a few years ago and we loved hearing his stories (and I'm sure his sisters heard some that we didn't. . . . )
