update 3: March 18th 2011
after fab ferry ride, and then a 4 hour drive mission to find where we were staying (combination of crap google maps and 'good' local hand written maps) we finally arrived at the Squat. Great views, wicked people, all good!
Got the guided tour, and then set about 'organising Honey Bunch'..and what a terrific home she is!!!
The next day 'day 1' was Jana's birthday and we headed out on bikes after our soon to be customary chai coffees and bagels. Got the ferry over to Amsterdam Centrum, rode about, ate another epic breakfast of pancakes, stuffed canoloni and the thickest hot chocolate EVER! on sugar high we ride round more, accidentally riding down 'one man alley' in heart of red light district..
How does the traffic work?? we ponder..BIKES RULE!!!!!!!! great!
Stop off at a market - frites and mayo..yum! decide that we must make a rap music video ..in the planning..wrote rap lyrics whilst drinking mint tea on side of a canal!
Zig zag back across town to Dinner & movie at Lab 111 - great art space etc.
Ride home happy and tired to a warm (the heating worked after Cats skilled wiring) welcome home from honey bunch!
Raining today - honey bunch is dry! hit up a market for veggies bread and CHEESE.. we promise you this cheese is AMAZING!!!!
After offering to take a group photo of everyone living here we got invited to the 'biggest squat party amsterdam has ever seen'. A huge squat outside the city center is closing..massive space.. everyone will be there..we are planning on wearing lots of leopard print and fur, and selling bloody mary's to all the party revellers in the morning..from honey bunch..wish us luck!
big love Cat & Jana
