Last Update from Bren

well im still traveling believe or not. I guess since my last email we’ve been to Germany, Brussels and Amsterdamn. I didnt spend much time in Germany so there’s not much to say. We stayed in Frankfurt for 3 days. We stayed right in the middle of the red light district there at a learning hostle believe it or not. The city is nice enough…….although lots of crazy crazy germans. We ended up cutting this part of the trip short to travel up to Belgium and see J’s friend Brad. We stayed there for 5 days (we had brads apartment and his buddies the whole time who had gone back to Canada) ; watched movies, played playstation and drank. It was good to get away from staying is hostels for a while. We had some crazy nights there then moved on to Amsterdamn……the land of legal prostition and drugs. But seeing as i dont partake in either of those activities i decided to stay at the st mike’s christian hostel and boned up on the bible. only joking. We stayed there 3 days which was plenty long. The city is nuts. You got thousands of bikers, trams and cars on streets that look and feel like walkways. We toured the red light district there at night which was a little crazy. nothing like window shopping for women of the night. anyway after being harassed by bums and drug dealers we had enough and went home. All and all is was a nice city to visit but thats it.

from amsterdamn we flew to Scotland. We landed in Glasgow and stayed for a few days. We met up with some marketing guys from a distillery on the island of Ilsey, had some food and few drinks. They ended up hooking us up with a place to stay at the distillery on Isley for the past 3 days. The place was absoltuyly incredible. They made us a big breakfeast every morning, beautiufl room to ourselfs and as much scotch and beer as we wanted and gave us their van to tour around the island in. While there we toured 5 distilleries. There’s nothing like having a dram or two of scotch at 10 in the morning. The weather has been shit but im just loving Scotland. The people are incredibly nice and giving. We left Ilsey today and are heading towards the highlands. Im really looking forward to seeing and sampleing some more distilleries scotches.

anyway we have about a 10 days left here before we head off to NY for a few days and then home. I hope everyone is ready to party for Canada day, i cant wait. I hope everyone is well, ill see ya soon

cheers
