Saturday, August 6

Felt a bit hazy in the morning, but had apparently promised Ellen last night to drive her around the country. Picked up McR, picked up Ellen and Gary and drove all the way to Volendam, where we watched tourists and had our picture made in traditional Volendam dress. (It was Ellen's idea, McR and I were forced to do it!!!)




Decided that we had to counter all the cheesiness somehow and drove on towards Bloemendaal, still the place to be when it comes to beach-clubs in the Netherlands. Managed to somewhat blend in and had some drinks while lounging in the sun.

At night went out with most of the people that showed up last night, and got joined by Lorraine for a bit. She claimed old age and pissed off pretty early but I won't say anything bad about that seeing as she brought me "yes man" back from the UK. Yay Lorraine!!!!! Big fun to have the whole old gang together in one place again for a change, even managed to bump into Haas.

Ended the night in Calypso, where we stumbled into Kaz, Katherine and Kaz's friends. All had a brilliant night out. Back home far too late, fearing the stand-by phone I had been carrying with me all night.
