Today we had breakfast at the hostle, it was yummy we had rice cakes and large crackers and like a large gargetto crunch thing. They were served with seasoned meats.
Our first stop was the tourist office to find out where the campground was. We found the campground pretty easily with the directions but right before we got there we ran into steps that you had to go down in order to get there. It was then that we discovered why people where giggling when we were pushing our bikes down stairs because at all of the staircases there is a bike wheel groove, like a track, that makes it rally easy to manuver your bike down the stairs. When we got to the campground we found out that it is pretty cute. It has a petting zoo right inside it whti rabbits and gotes and it is less then half of the price that we are hostelling at. Tomorrow we will stay there for sure. We took a back way once we got into the city and explored the outskirts of the downtown. The south side is much cleaner then directly downtown. We saw a van that was unloading a small car. The van was no bigger then an american van. From there we got lunch at a little sandwich shop. There we met the first person that didnt spak english. With hand gestures and nodding we managed to communicate what we watned. We stopped to eat lunch in a bike park called Ooster Park We stopped at a few small shops and caffes and were about to head home when we noticed that someone took Angie's bikelight. The funnly thing about it is that it was a 6 dollar bike light and 6 inches away on my bike is a 25 dollar let light that the person didnt steal, The other funny thing about it is that they just broke it off when they could have just flipped a switch and slid it off.
About that time we were getting hungry so we started looking for places to eat. There were so many restraunts that it made it rally hard to decided. We walked all the way up and down several streets. It seems like there are infinite restrants. I only had one beer in a out of the way placew. Most places only serve amstel and heineken. Anyway we decided on a pizza/pasta place. The pizzas were about the size on am american one but they are cracker thin so you can eat the whole thing without any trouble.We really like those tiny cars. Every time we see one we are like"look, its so cute" We thin that it is funny that we drove a lawnmower bigger then them this summer. We rode bikes back to the hostel after dinner to be safe. Then wae walked around for like 2 1/2 hours. We stopped at one of Ang's favorite cafes for the dessert cake. I had walnut cake and Angie had chocolate.
