Captains Log Day 38 – 6/02/14 5:11 pm.
Location: Colonel Street, Clayton.
The Final Log – The trip comes to an end – All i can think of right now is the means of which both my Co-Captain and i would be adjust to society after our exploits around Europe.
Leaving Stockholm we arrived in Amsterdam – and considering we had booked a mere 10 hours before checking in the only accommodation we could find was in a Hostel in the centre of the city. We arrived early in the morning and reached the hostel by 11am – we were advised that we could only check in after 2 – so both my Co-Captain and i visited a Coffee Shop *smirks* – Not long after we were both Craving a Brunch menu – we walked around the city like Harold and Kumar looking for Brunch (we just looked a bit more like Kumar and Kumar) we finally found a little Taint cafe and had brunch. The satisfaction of this meal was hard to describe, pit stopping at a few more coffee shops we went around buying our final souvenirs. We visited the heineken experience again to check it out and picked up our free gifts we headed back to the hostel and were told our room was ready – except this room was in the roof of the building and it comprise of the narrowest steps ever – climbing 4 sets of stairs that would be about 1 meter wide with luggage we got to the top in our room – we changed and had a nap before heading out to the pub Crawl. Waking up slightly late we had 20 minutes to finish a bottle of vodka – so we headed down bought some Fritz (Chips with Mayo) and a few bottles of sprite.. glug glug glug – on a tram to the meeting point and feeling again on top of the world.
On the way to the meeting point my Co-Captain was able to identify one of the organisers tha the recognised from the last pub Crawl we had completed (See Captains Log Day 7 – 09/01/14) we were advised it was not running today since it was Tuesday and the turnout was low 🙁 both my Co-Captain were disappoint buy we were also pretty drunk and other things. So we continued our own lil crawl – stopping at bars and coffeeshops we hit the town. a heap of these details are no disclosure but a heap happened on the last night 🙂
Next morning it was time to set off for our 26 hour journey home. Once again with a mere 4 hours sleep we got to the airport had our last set of muffins and cakes and set off. The flight involved us watching 5 movies 🙂 and next to no sleep. – a Great relaxing way to end the trip!
Reflecting back to this, i can’t believe i have survived. I can count off at least 5 occasions in which i would be in jail or hurt.
That being said this trip has been amazing – i don’t think i am the same person that left Melbourne – The experiences, the people have all had an impact on myself and i am sure similarly for my Co-Captain. The people we met- the friendships we have built are priceless. I hope destiny has a plan and we see these great souls again.
Lastly i would like to thank everyone that has been following this 🙂 i hope you guys enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed writing these.
