Pablo and I spent a large part of the morning dealing with public transport and checking into our new hostel. I booked the "downtown flying pig hostel" for Friday and Saturday. The place has a different feel to the beach hostel. This hostel has a less relaxed vibe and more of a party vibe. Its kinda like this hostel is one giant pub.
We rented bikes for 3 hours and ride all around Amsterdam. In particular we hit 3 main destinations in this order: The van Gogh museum, the Heineken factory, and Puccini's chocolate store. The Heineken factory exceeded expectations ten fold despite being one giant advertisement mainly because they gave out 2 free beers at the end of the tour and because they did a great job teaching you how to make beer. Puccini's was a bit of a disappointment only because it didn't live up to its reputation of having the best chocolate in the world. Still really good though.
In the late evening we made friends with 3 other people at our hostel. I can't remember their names but there was one Spanish (or Mexican) girl and 2 Kenyan guys. I'll just call the girl shakira and the guys usain bolt 1 and usain bolt 2. After a lot of pre drinking in the hostel and a few bars we decided to hit a club which had a venue called "kill all hipsters". It had a good vibe.
UB1, UB2, Shakira, pablo and I ordered a rum and coke each when we got inside. They gave us a plastic cup filled with ice and Bacardi white rum and a separate bottle of coca-cola. We ordered so many of them that they gave us two free shots half way through the night.
