My and my mrs in my bus and 2 of our mates, Dave with his Wind down window Barndoor Kombi and Ste who was along for the ride left the show Sunday night and headed off to Amsterdam for a few days.

Stayed at camping Zeeburg, highly recommend it for a chilled out campsite near Amsterdam.

Bumped into some of the northern Uk boys on the campsite

Our mate Goat Eyes with his long lost brother....

In the dam things got interesting shall we say...... But it is also a lovely place.

We headed off to find the Tulip fields on one day, couldn't get any closer than this with the busses, but still some awesome colours....

Paid a visit to the beach too, which really confused the locals, the crowds of people wanting to talk about the 2 really tatty busses with broken suspension was crazy.....
Image

Eventually we had to head home, got special treatment on the ferry again on the way home, soon as they saw us just drive into the ramp instead of onto it :D
Image

Managed to get a pic of the roof of my bus showing the way a previous owner obviously could t reach it to wash properly, not so difficult to reach the whole thing now haha
Image

Cool shot of us arriving in Amersfoort by someone else

Sorry for the non show pics but thought a few may be interested in the whole tour :)

How killer is the wind down window Barny. Matt sent me pics a while back of it, flipping awesome.
Shiny paint doesn't make it worth any more.

Haha yeh we took it out into the rough stuff a couple of times before work started on its transformation. The silver paint was under the green, all the door shuts have been left in the green so it won't be forgotten :)

There is a video of me driving it through a ford(apologies for language) near us trying to make as big a splash as possible on you tube somewhere.
