Happy birthday Santá! Waking up on your birthday in Venezia (Venice), to travel to London for afternoon tea and then onto Amsterdam for dinner is pretty awesome.
We caught the 07.20 train from Venezia to Bolgna. Checked into the airport and bid farewell (chow) to Italy. After a stopover in London (Gatwick) we flew to Amsterdam, landing around 17.30. Caught the train into town. Found the beagle houseboat, our booked accommodation. After Santá’s asthma attack in the ‘gunja floater’ we downed 2 glasses of wine dull the images. Within an hour we had found somewhere else to stay. A windowless smoke-filled ‘shoebox, but 5-star compared to the Beagle.
We ventured out into the nearby streets and wondered through the red light district. Scenes of drunken debauchery filled the streets. In a haze of marijuana smoke, scantily clad ladies advertised their wares from behind lit windows lining the streets. We were both quite shocked, but it was something to experience. We dulled ourselves with some more wine and then nodded off to sleep.
