Gossip!!!

Ash:- Not stupid banners Megan. They said "Welcome Simon the Slaphead" and "Welcome Megan (daughter of slaphead)." We stayed at Hotel Collette where we stayed for two nights and THEY had the biggest room!!

Megs:-Our first day started with breakfast and a cup of tea to wake us up. We jumped on the tram and headed for a dead end. We then jumped on the right tram and headed for the city centre.

Ash:- We had a huge fruhstuck and in true mum style made our lunch from the left overs.

Megs:-Firstly we found a cafe and me and Ash chose the lovely strawberry milkshake, while waiting for the bus city tour to start. We jumped on the top deck of the bus for a better view and saw some interesting places, including the river Rhine which we crossed over quite a few times and the Dom cathedral where we got off the bus and went inside. We then headed to the zoo, where Danny seemed to get a lot of attention, as there was meant to be a new animal arriving on this day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ash:- Cheeky Megan!! The babboons were busy!!!! weren't they Si. It was really quiet in the Dom Cathedral. I lit two candles. One for nana Carole and the other for my Papa.

Megs:-On the night we found a lovely restaurant where we had some lovely food, and Danny and dad worked their way down the kolsch beer list, which had an interesting effect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ash:- The next day we drove to Amsterdam.

Megs:- After driving around Amsterdam about 3times we eventually found somewhere to park!!!! A short walk from the car park we finally found our guesthouse for the night. It was also very popular with the local dog walking fraternity!!!!!!! WHAT A STINK!!! After dropping the bags we worked our way up the corkscrew stair case to the front door. FREEDOM!!

Megs:- Again using the trams we headed for the city centre to investigate the sights, shops and cafes. We found some very interesting places.

Ash:- Some nice and some not so nice!!!

Megs:-We headed for the sports cafe for something to eat after a short walk around town.

Megs:-Wednesday we had a cultural day visiting the Anne Frank museum and the 100 highlights boat tour of Amsterdam. We grabbed a snack and then headed to Melkweg where saw The Gossip live which was great, we also got signed posters and t-shirts.

Ash:- We were the only people who got signatures!!!! The Anne Frank museum was both good and sad! I bought the diary and a history book.

Megs:-Early Thursday morning we headed back to Germany, stopping off at Roermund shopping centre, where I spent the rest of my euros on clothes. Before heading to the airport we visited Danny's friends who live on an army base for coffee and cake. Danni and Ash dropped me and dad at Cologne airport where we said Auf wedersehen.

Ash:- The best bit for me was Simon and Megs arriving the worst bit was that Simon smelt like rotten eggs!!!!! R-U-F-T. Oh and very little bacon around.

See you all soon and hope you enjoy the photos.

Love Ashleigh and Megs

Hi Dan and Ash
Hope you received Annie's blog from 2 weeks ago. We're having another go now just in case you didn't! It's very strange without you at Stirchley, you've still not been replaced! Not a day goes without someone asking about you! You're looking really well and relaxed in the photos and enjoying your chill out time. How many miles have you covered?!! Look forward to the next instalment of your blog & piccies. Everyone sends their love & we'll try and be in touch soon.
