Gruezi everyone,
Well yet another misadventure to share with you. We made it into Amsterdam at near to midnight on Thursday, about 2 odd hours later than we expected, after yet another delayed flight. Checked straight in at our hotel (NH Amsterdam, right near Leidesplein) and ducked out for a night cap before hitting the hay. Early Friday morning, Ness and I went out to Den Hague to sort out her work Visa, have a wander around the city and check out the sights. We also discovered there an exhibition/installation of modern Australian art works right in the middle of the city which was rather cool. All pieces/installations were very modern, some with a distinct Aus flavour - others just obscure sculptures and works. We spent most of the day in The Hague and were back in Amsterdam by 3 that afternoon. Being that we were very restricted by time we didn't have much of a chance to go any real distance further, but it was good to see The Hague as we hadn't been there before anyway. Late Friday afternoon it decided to absolutely dump down rain so we ended up finding ourselves a restaurant and spent most of the night eating and drinking.
We had to be at the airport by 1pm on Saturday, so again time wasn't really there to be going too far. Probably a good thing though because once again that morning it poured down rain. We transferred out to the airport, looked around for a while, back on another delayed flight and back to Zurich again by just on 5pm. Now that's what I call a flying visit.
Sunday was relatively quiet, but a brilliant sunny day, so once again we headed down to the lake - which is the thing most people do of a Sunday. We didn't know until we got there, but there was a triathlon in Zurich city so there were quite a lot of people around putting in the hard yards. We on the other hand decided to take a more leisurely pace and took a little paddle boat on the lake and sat out on the water for a while. Such a hard life.
Next weekend we're on a train down to Geneva, being picked up from there and then driving out to Avignon to spend the weekend with Ness's family. Lots more travel ahead, at least I have never had a train been delayed, well not for 2 hours anyway. A big HELLO to everyone back home, hope everything is coming up roses. Until next time,
Peace and Kind Regards,
Jimi and Ness

Supa! ......Jimi, Jimi, Jimi
u not a sucker mc now (~return of DJ jazzy jeff)
Good to talk to u bro tonight online as u had massive reverb on ur mic, but all cool.
We all (I, Manda, C&S, Al&David, DaBone&Mannda2) miss u guys heaps, its like missing a a vital part of ur anatomy,. talkin of anatomy in some strange segway, babies are inbound with guns loaded, and evidence of other weapons of mass destruction proven to be worthy in the Avison gene pool ~pheeeew, i think me and bro wher wondering bout our ammunition there for a second, but all's good.
U guys dont stop with the absolute take down of entertainment and culture, (experience Amsterdam with P0Rn0, sticky purple FUDGE, and enough ART to shake a stick at around every corner) all we have is a big boat stuck on the beach!
Well hope all goes well,
more drugs needed over here if possible anyways,....(~cast of crutch that kills the pain~Billy Talent)
