Finally posted those photos of my trip to Amsterdam

Working overtime paid off: I got the job done! Tonight I even managed to catch the seven o'clock bus, woohoo: weekend! My brain is still too fried and tired to focus on fun stuff on the computer at home after being busy designing all week, boooh. But I might do a bit of fiddling tomorrow before I travel south to spend time with brotherdearest. On Sunday I'll make him get up early so we can be at The Efteling when the doors open (10 am, it's about an hour and a half by train and bus from his house;). The prettiest attraction park in the world will be open until 9 pm, so it will be a loooooong day in fairytale-land:-D. Maybe there will be pictures later.

Speaking of pictures: I promised photos of my trip to Amsterdam with mom. That was the only travelling I was able to do during my vacation. Maybe that's why we went a bit touristy;) Still: we had a great day:)

I'm gonna go to bed early again. Well, before midnight anyway. What? I can totally do it.

Yay, now you can fully enjoy the weekend! And I'm pretty sure going to The Efteling beats hanging out online any day *feels sad for self :P*. Have a great time, and I would love to see pictures so I can at least live vicariously ;).

The A'dam pics rock! I didn't recognize anything at all, oopsie ;). The picture-of-a-picture of the Spencer Tunick models on the bridge looks awesome. Love the last pic, with your mom wading through the virtual pond. I came across a digital floor at an exhibit once, where the tiles cracked and fell down when you stepped on them. Very Cool.

Well, my brother already posted his pictures of the Efteling. Mine will follow sometime this afternoon;)

Ahw, thanks. Usually mom and I walk straight from the station to the Dam and start shopping (Bijenkorf and on to the Kalverstraat) But the search for the pictures led us to the West-side of town, so eventually we approached Damsquare from another direction - I don't think I even remember where the hell we went, but it was fun:)

I saw another one of those digital ponds in the Efteling's Pandadroom yesterday. I want one at home, it's so cool:)

Ooo, awesome. Now I want to go even more, heh. I love the pics of the Piranha River!

I have no idea where we went, the last time we were in A'dam. We went to the Hermitage Museum though, but that's freaking far away from the Kalverstraat iirc. It was a gorgeous neighborhood though. I love the kind of places you find when you just walk at random.

Heh, get one! I'm sure they're totally cheap ;).

You know, we should/could totally organise a fandom get-together there - or in Amsterdam;-)

Heh, it looks like I'm getting soaked in that one picture, but honestly it wasn't that bad :-p My brother got a good splash though *veg*

I see if I can find out if that gadget is worth dreaming about;)

Ooo or BOTH *veg*. A fandom get-together in the Efteling would be really awesome. Then again, a get-together in Amsterdam would imply the closeness of the American Book Center and loads of fandom-related goodies. Hmm :P.

I've always loved the wild water rides more than anything else. Too bad the weather is rarely ideal for it.

:-) Amsterdam would be easier to reach for everyone, because The Efteling is in the middle of nowhere. Mmmmm, ABC, I love thee.

I prefer more entertainment on my rides than simply going round and round or get wet; the Efteling has enough stuff for everyone's taste:) I don't mind when it's a bit colder (we had proper summer temperatures on Sunday) as long as it's not raining, that's the wrong kind of water;)

True. Plus, no entrance fee, and therefore more money to spend on geeky books, hee! I'm really seeing the benefits in this now...

I always used to go to amusement parks when it was cloudy with a chance of rain, because you didn't have to stand in line at all, mehehe ;).

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Dude, don't get me started about the entrance fee. I'm glad I didn't have to support a whole family going there.

Also: Amsterdam has the awesomest cinemas!

Smart girl. I knew that:)
