Arr me harties!

Trav's arm looks very pirate-y these days, thanks to a dodgy stitch-up at a Netherlands hospital (following a robbery and broken glass door)

Frankenstein scars

More gore from Trav's 'been robbed' experience. The angry red scars have settled a lot now, and are faint purple in colour these days

Trav modelling his scars

Trav has handled his cosmetic surgery well, and usually covers his forearms at work so he doesn't gross out customers (after all, who wants to see pirate scars when a waiter delivers their food?). An expensive, but worthwhile lesson.

Queue for the Anne Frank museum

We waited about half an hour to get into the museum on this chilly May day... totally worth it!

Public toilet

This is genuinely a public toilet for men in the capital city of the Netherlands... imagine unzipping and standing in this four-person urinal in the middle of the street! Eeek...

Trav eating chilli cheese frites (chips)

We thought a large would be a good size to share, but didn't realise just how big they'd be... a medium would have been more than enough! And the amount of sauce they drowned the chips in was just awesome - you were able to get a fully-coated chip right at the bottom of the paper cone...

House plaques

These plaques used to be used to identify addresses before house numbers were 'invented' in Amsterdam... what a hoot! Imagine telling friends where your house was for dinner parties - 'Oh yes, its on Keukenhof Street, and we are the one with the Virgin Mary holding the Jewish star'...

Pipe organ in the Westerkerk Tower

This incredible instrument is really awe-inspiring... I can't imagine anyone not getting goosebumps during mass, with this playing in the background!

Trav in sling

After his emergency room stitches, I had to play nurse with Trav and set up this photo to show how well I was looking after him. The expression is totally posed - he wasn't really in that much pain!

A coffee shop with an interesting shop front...

We enquired about prices and strengths of marijuana in this establishment - €5 is the going rate for a 'weak' Thai-blend joint, and they cannot guarantee what is in the brownies (so don't bother trying the brownies if you don't know the shop owners... or you may end up in a hospital having your stomach pumped)

Apparently it's famous - the Casa Rosso sex shop

Our Aussie friends got a text message when they were having a pint with us in Amsterdam, asking if they had been to 'Casa Rosso' yet... so we searched it out and took a pic to prove we'd seen it

Watching the District

This man and his dog spent at least an hour just watching people pass by in their street along the Red Light District in Amsterdam, Netherlands... a little creepy - but appropriate for the area, I guess.

Canal in the Red Light District

This stereotypical canal scene was a pleasant break from the skanky-looking women in the full-length windows on the street (which incidentally all had 'no photos' signs all over the windows)

Trent and Kat enjoying a pint

We were thrilled to bits to catch up with our good friends Kat and Trent in the city of sin, for a pint in the notorious Red Light District. We giggled like school kids at the women advertising their 'services' in the windows, and the sex shops with their open-minded approach to 'adult entertainment'
