I'VE JUST COME BACK FROM A HOLIDAY IN AMSTERDAM WITH MY FRIEND SARAH AND I THOUGHT I'D TELL YOU ABOUT THE 1ST DAY.

WE ARRIVED AT BOURNEMOUTH AIRPORT AT ABOUT 10 O'CLOCK, THEN IT ALL WENT WRONG.

SARAH TRIED TO GET INTO HER SUITCASE BUT THE PAD LOCK HAD BROKEN SO......HER GRANDAD (WHO HAD TAKEN US), GOES HOME AND COMES BACK WITH A SAW , PLIERS AND A NEW SET OF PADLOCKS (GOT STOPPED BY SECURITY) CARRYING A SAW THROUGH AN AIRPORT , I ASK YOU??? LOL.

ALL WAS WELL WE BOARDED OUR PLANE AND ARRIVED IN AMSTERDAM AIRPORT. NOW, TO GET TO AMSTERDAM YOU HAVE TO CATCH THE TRAIN. WE WENT TO BUY OUR TICKETS FROM THE KIOSK AND I ASKED WHICH PLATFORM THE TRAIN WAS LEAVING FROM. (SHE DID SPEEK FLEUENT ENGLISH) SHE SAID PLATFORM 1 OR 3. SO WE GET ON THE TRAIN IN PLATFORM 1. IT WAS ONLY 1HR LATER WHEN WE ASKED SOMEONE IF WE WERE NEER AMSTERDAM AND THEY TOLD US WE WERE TRAVELLING INT THE COMPLEATLY OPPOSIT DIRECTION THAT WE GOT OFF THE TRAIN AT 'UTRECHT CENTRAAL' IN THE CENTRE OF HOLLAND (AMSTERDAM BEING ON THE COAST) IN THE ROUGHEST CITY IN HOLLAND.

SO WE GOT ON THE TRAIN (AFTER 1/2 AN HOUR TRYING TO FID SOMEONE WHO SPOKE ENGLISH) BOUND TO 'AMSTERDAM CENTRAAL'. WE ARRIVED SAFE AND SOUND.

WE GO TO OUR HOTEL AND CHECKED IN AT 6:30PM AND HE ASKES US TO PAY UPFRONT. THATS FINE ONLY HE DIDN'T TAKE TRAVELLERS CHEQUES. SO WE GO TO THE NEAREST BEUREAU DE CHANGE AND CHANGE AND PAY THE HOTEL.

NEXT WE GO UP TO THE ROOM AND I SET THE SAFE. I TRY A DUMMY RUN FIRST TO SEE IF IT WORKED. ONLY WE COULDN'T GET THE SAFE OPEN AGAIN AND IT IS STILL LOCKED TO THIS VERY DAY.

SO THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF OUR HOLIDAY. COULD ANYTHING ELSE GO WRONG?????????????

i live to dance and i dance to live. if i didn't dance then i would die. but if i die i would be rebourn and would dance againe even more. so dancing is very good for me because it's how i survive.

if life were a bubble it would never burst. cos life is like a circle it actually never ends you live you die you live you die so wots there to worry about?
