Day 2 started well. I decided I wanted some grapes for breakfast so I went and found some. Check me out all continental with the fruit breakfast eh? The grapes plus the mouthful of banana I had last night mean I've eaten more fruit since I got here than I have in the past six months, if they served bananas at home like they do here I think I'd have a potassium overdose.
I thought about doing some touristy things, so decided to go and see the Amsterdam ArenA - home of the mighty Ajax. I got to the stadium, where a security guard showed me a group I could join who were about to start the tour. What the Dutch clown didn't tell me, was that I needed a ticket before I joined the group. I got halfway round the other side of the stadium where the tour entered and the boy chucked me off it. I wasn't waiting another hour in the middle of nowhere for the next one, so that was a colossal waste of time.
After that debacle, I decided the gods were telling me not to do any sightseeing, so I headed back to my hostel in the middle of the red light district (where there were more than enough sights to be seen). The rest of the day is a bit of a blur as I ended up getting hammered with 4 English boys from my dorm in the hostel, although my post on Facebook to let Auntie Angela know what was happening seems to suggest I had a blast!
