Damn Man! On the Beach in Amsterdam!

Where to start, where to start?
The beginning shall we:
Well June 27th was an interesting day indeed. I should have listened to my mothers advice and taken Friday night lightly. Instead I indulged way too much into drinking. I ended up waking in the living room with a swollen fist and a swollen brain. All I'm going to say is that June 27th marks the worst hangover I've ever had, maybe on the verge of some sort of alcohol poisoning. Fear not, by the time Warren and I reached the airport I was back on my feet ready for the 7 our flight.
The flight was not fun however. It was cramped, but I survived.
So we land at Gatwik airport all revved up about starting our Euro trip! Unfortunately our housing plans went into the garbage. Which Is odd because for some reason there are NO dumpsters in London. I have no idea how they keep the city so nice and clean with no garbage cans.
Anyway, we managed to figure out how the Tube system works and started visiting some remarkable sites. We first went to Big Ben, headed to Westminster Abbey, then we randomly wandered the city trying to find somewhere to stay and or find somewhere to stay. (Our GPS system was dead and no plugins to be found). Exhausted, aggravated, and flustered we found ourselves in Buckingham Palace. Which was way beautiful, but we were to tired to take any pictures (don't worry we return again later). Luckily we ran into another Canadian and he recommended we stay at a hostel called St Christopher Inn. So we took the tube to London Bridge and found a wonderful place to stay for the night.

I slept for good 11 hours, and woke up feeling refreshed and pumped up! So we locked away our 20 kilos backpacks and ended up going back to Buckingham Palace to take a few pictures and fortunately caught a glimpse of the changing of the guards. After that we headed to a Cartoon museum, but unfortunately it was closed on mondays :-(. So we just ended up going to the british Museum, which to our wonderful surprise was free. After that we just wanted to get our packs and head to a new (and less pricy) hostel. So we had to go a little bit more south down to Greenwich. Bad idea. The hostel was hot, and VERY smelly. The rooms weren't so bad, but the 'chill room' smelled like an explosion of outhouse happened and now one bothered cleaning it up for a decade. But we ended up staying here for 2 nights.

Next day was mainly spent sulking around doing whatever we could for free, (like the London Science Museum, but the Toronto one is so much better). This is when we came to the conclusion we may not be able to make a full 2 months wandering around on the fly. CouchSurfers isn't working for us because we don't have boobs, and no experience, so no one wants us. So we booked an overnight bus to the Amsterdam and went to bed.

CANADA DAY!!!
We woke up, got charged and feeling better we went to Trafalgar Square where there was a Canada celebration. There was hockey being played (not on ice :-P), and some concerts after the hockey. Prices were still damn expensive. 5 pound burgers and 5 Pounds beers. what a rip off, you could get acase of burgers and a 6 packs of beer for that price in Canada. Anyway we were spent by the end of the day so we went on our bus to Amsterdam!

I'll continue this later, some people are luring around waiting to use the only computer in this hostel.
Taataa for now!
