Car packed for Texel.
Amsterdam. Not much i could say that would surprise you really. Dams/canals, Ann Franks house and yes there are 'Coffee Shops'. However i went to visit my beautiful Dutch/Australian friend Georgia, who was full of surprises! one such being taking me to spend new years eve in a tent on an island named Texel (Tessel) with her extended dutch family that didn't tend to translate much of the conversation. The island is notorious for its cold weather and much to our disappointment the population of sheep outnumbered the people by half. The Dutch who have been to Western Australia like to claim it's their equivalent to our 'party' island, Rottnest. However from first hand experience this sadly was not the case i would probably associate it with the likes of Augusta. Yet i can't complain because i was with one of my best friends and we made the most of an interesting situation by embracing the fact that our new years eve would be spent on a freezing cold beach setting off fire works with drunken middle aged men.
Stay tuned for more Dutch adventures in 2013
