Reunion with Stiffler, Amsterdam, Holland


Since we had been apart for almost 2 months, it was time to see Stiffler again. We originally met her in Vietnam and travelled with her for about 2 months through Vietnam and China. The last time we saw her, she was reluctantly heading back to China after some fun times in Hong Kong with us and friends.

We flew over to Amsterdam from Birmingham and she picked us up at the airport. It was great to see her again, and as always, was weird to see travel friends in their 'home habitat'. We saw plenty of sights around Amsterdam, and enjoyed some evenings at various pubs around town. This old pub called Hoppe was actually where Stiffler's parents met, and frequented with her after she was born. I think she had her own table in the back corner to play at. Pretty cool to return to your roots so to speak.
We spent four quick days in Amsterdam before heading back to England but it's always great to catch up with old travel friends. *Stub
