-Missing the overnight ferry to Amsterdam cos all the trains from Cambridge Harwick were canceled. Had to stay a night in Harwick then get the morning ferry on Fri, breakfast on board.

-Checking in to a 32-bed dorm at the Flying Pig, an awesome central hostel.

-Eating antelope stew in a cute Ethiopian restaurant

-Hanging out with some of Rhi's friends who were house-sitting for a puzzel-maker, eating pancakes+solving puzzels on the roof in the sun

-Borrowing the puzzel-maker's bikes to explore Jordaan+9 streets+markets (bought flowers+cheese+other touristy stuff)

-cycling to the beach, swimming+sunbathing

-seeing Morcheeba live!

I think that's about it for now, more later!

You left a lot out.

I also taught you a new way of navigating...

I loved the Amsterdam photo! Are you going to make it the front one? We need to see you when we open the blog and not some unknown person...
