Sorry for the dissapearing act – I’ve been completely tired out from travelling for work and also changing my work times – I now start work at 7.15 would you believe it?? I can hardly believe it myself. I want to leave the office before twilight, and this allows me to leave at 4…I usually get home by 5ish, do my stupid excercises on the wii and my day really finishes by 6. Not to mention lately I have gone back on my lunch-making craze, so am spending an hour at night making lunch for the next day. That is if I’m not off travelling the country from top to bottom…which seriously takes it out of me. Sigh. What exciting life I lead.

I promise more blogs this week – I know, I know…I can see cobwebs growing at the corners of the blog. In the meantime, more pictures from Amsterdam to keep you entertained

We can’t forget that my favourite beer was born in Amsterdam :)

Heehee….oh-so-cheesy….

I love love love their mini cars – it’s so small and slow it even uses the zebra crossing..lols. They also park themselves at the bicycle racks.

Flemish chips rock my world. Eaten with sausfrites; i.e. spiced mayo. It’s been nearly 10 years since I had this when I lived in Bruxelles. Ah, having Godiva for breakfast, belgium fries for lunch and belgium waffles for tea. Loved it.

I do love the double-cooked fries/chips. And the mayo is so sinful it ought to be outlawed.

Hmm. I thought it was made out of chocolate. I went to the Sex Museum. How cultural (it charged the cheapest entrance fee..hehe). Thought it would be something different…the last time bacon went to Amsterdam with his ‘other’ half, they apparently spent all the time away from Heineken, Coffeeshops, and FEBO bars…concentrating their time at the proper cultural museums i.e. Anne Frank.

Also from the sex museum. I thought it was very adorably cute.

A hot-dog…hehe…geddit? Made out of chocolate. Adorable.

Running out of names to call cheeses. Heh.

I’ve been to Flanders a few times for bike races, and every time we treat ourselves to Frites & mayo, Hotdogs with mustard hot enough to melt the sun, and cans of Jupiler for the post-race feed.

Right now I’m having massive withdrawal symptoms thanks to those photos!
