I think I completely lost my last post that I made about London. Oh well, no big loss anyway. I'm currently in Munich, about to go off to the beer halls. I've had a completely rockin time on the Contiki tour.
Started by catching the ferry over to the mainland and drove through Belgium to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It is the most gorgeous place. We did a canal cruise which had non-stop Heineken beer and funky vodka shots. Then we went to a sex show. One of the more famous ones. It was great. One of the ladies could smoke a cigar from a place that I didn't know could do that. It was a learning experience. We then all went back to the bar at the place we were staying at and stayed up dancing 'til late.
The next day a few of us started at the diamond factory. Whilst it sounds boring, it was actually fantastisch. The others missed out.
Then a couple of Americans and I went to a coffee house. I had a space muffin.. and after waiting about an hour and feeling nothing, I had a few drags.
OMG. Worst trip ever. It hit me in a nice way for a little while, then when we'd gone to get pizza, it hit me massively. 5hr bad trip. There was complete freakin' out. Vomitting and nausea. The whole world started spinning, canals were flowing upwards, the bus jumped down into a hole in the ground. Things sped up and slowed down and I became really big then really small. There were auditory hallucinations, and weird delusions that everything people were sag was really inane. An experience to never forget.
Luckily it wore off just in time for me to go to a great Wine Tasting session in St Goar in Germany that evening. Then today after a beer stein demo, we were off to Munich. The Munich hotel is completelz droolworthy. Pool, sauna, gyms, pillow menus, etc. Anyway, I'm doing fine, having fun, and my holiday pay come through. Rock on.
