When its spring again, i'll bring a again....

Two Lips from Amsterdam.....

Yes this weekend just gone, i took the hairy one to Amsterdam.. This was one of his Christmas presents (yes i know its late but fuck-me he only gets about 2 weekeneds off a decade)...

We flew VLM (don't ask!.. am sure i was sat next to the rear gunner). It was passable and only experienced at all because City Airport is through the swing doors from our lounge so seemed a tad silly to go ALL the way to Heathrow..

We stayed at The Dylan, a gorgeous boutique hotel designed by Anooshka Hemple (Thats not how you spell her name but its funnier MY way).. We were upgraded to a garden suite courtesy of Mr & Mrs Smith and a bottle of Veuve Cliquot arrived after we checked in...

Friday we just mooched about the city, found a gorgeous cafe which had a choc-a-holic Buzz Lightyear in the window..

Saturday we met up with my little bro and Mr Cubby's bestest friends Leo & Greg, who live in Rotterdam. They all came in and we went to http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/ . To say it was disturbing would be very accurate.. Given that i have only ever seen 1 dead body in my whole life, standing next to these "creatures" with no skin, or ligaments, or fat was often freaky. We all had to comment that no matter which bits of them were removed to show other underlying parts, they all seemed to retain their anus!... ahem.. (cue giggling schoolgirl laugh)

We then proceeded to a typical dutch bar and degenerated into the neanderthals we all really are underneath, then back to the suite for a shower, freshen up and hit the town.

One must pause for a moment to recollect that the sleaziest gay bar in the city is called ARGOS ! - Well at least they have slings - more than can be said for the UK brand of the same name :D

I think we all dispresed around 4am and we zonked out...

Sunday was lazy breakfast in bed, then fly home...

It has to be said Leo & Greg are adorable.....so until the next time....
