Dan and I flew to Amsterdam on Saturday morning. We drove to Bristol airport and parked in the carpark. I then got in a mood because of something to do with where we had walked to to get the bus to the terminal. I also got in a panic because I thought the bus would never come and we would miss the flight or something. It was all fine and I coped ok with the flight- I even managed to look out the window a bit! We arrived in Amsterdam and got the train down to Arnhem. I love Dutch trains!

As it was my birthday the next day and we would be at the gig all day, Dan took me out in the evening to a lovely Italian restaurant! The waitresses spoke English and we all had a good laugh about using the phrase book to translate the menu since it was in both Italian and English. After that we went back to the hotel for some drinks with Isabelle, then Alessia and Jamie turned up who had come over to Holland on a coach! By this time it was about 10.30pm and they couldn’t be bothered to go and find their hotel so cancelled it and booked in to ours! Terry turned up (the guy we met in Lisbon a few days before!) He bought us some champagne and we celebrated my birthday at midnight!! Everyone sang happy birthday to me at the turn of midnight! Jamie even managed to sing happy birthday to the tune of We Will Rock You! Managed to get the guy in the bar to play some Queen for us and there were also some other fans around! What a great night!!!
