lol - not me mate!!

[Euro-commuter]

well did get dragged into one or two booths, and was offered a discount rate of €25 for a shag (normal price €50), but being in a happy relationship, I don't think my GF would have wanted me to take up the special offer.......but yes there was some smoking happening in the area......;0)

traveling back to Utrecht at 0100 in 1st class, when my mate decided to redecorate the carridge.....not nice.

What kind of "how's your father" do you mean Gooner?

The smokey kind or the red light kind? (or both?!)

sore head, and yes the banana ar is still there, although we did not venture in, we went to about 6 or 7 bars, 10 pints and several cocktails and off back to Utrecht.

Is the Banana bar still there where the nice lady writes a post card with her front bum? We were on a stag do and as the best man I had to finish off the banana!

I keep meaning to go back with the wife as I'm sure there was more to see outside the seedy area.

but what I can't find are any decent street maps of the area, I've been before, but not from the train staion, does anyone know a good site that can help ??

Christmas in the trenches and all that ...

I would recommend a beer w/schnapps at "Wynand Fockink" (*) near the Krasnopolski hotel, and grub at Brasserie Harkema by Dam Square. Both A1.

(*) actual name

[Bluebird]

out of the station, accross the square bear left and it will all unfold before you...

Google maps?

checked, sorry pants......

I used to work there. I think if u catch the train to the Central station, you are only 5/10 mins walk from a plethora of hotels, cafes (Grasshopper) & red light district is 10 mins from station. Hotels there are a bit $$ so u might want to go further out. If u wanna to get stoned off your head, get a taxi and ask to go to Zombie. A top cafe that all the dutch go to and none of the drunk/stoned £5 Ryanair flight stag weekend football lovin English chavs.

I'm staying in Utrecht, so I'll be getting a train in and out tonight, thought we'd hit the bars, etc ;0)

I'll be going back every couple of weeks so should be fun (and expensive!!)
