Spent last weekend at a three day music festival called "Lowlands" with Nicola and Alicia. Was good fun, good music and I am sure I managed to kill off a few braincells along the way.
Trekking the bijzonder* long distance from the car to the camp grounds.
(*bijzonder Dutch for extraordinarily, particularly)
Tent city and home for the next 3 days!!
Inside the venue bevies in hand.
I like this photo. But I think it might have been during Mika. Which I didn't like!! (sorry Steve I had no rancid Dutch cheese to throw at his head for you but I did want too!!)
The Killers. Not the biggest fan but they rocked. I have a new respect for them now.
I think this is the amount of tickets sold to the festival "59 703"
Nothing like a raw herring sandwich with onions as a midnight snack after a few beers to ensure pleasant breath in the morning.
As warm as the days were it was freakin freazing in the tent at night. After a almost hypothermic sleep broken only from early morning giggles due to all the random snoring going on from the surrounding tents, we still manage a smile!!
After a crap nights sleep, a slight hangover, a breaky that consisted of cold beans, sardines and cheese bread, a few more beers, rock climbing seemed like a pretty good idea!!???? We did make it to the top.
Horse and his mate were there rockin away as well!!
One of our many chilled out moments
Blowing up my free condom also seemed like a good idea.
Our late night reflections
We awoke to find the Weed Fairy (or a drunken/stoned person) had left us a bag of pot, bag of hash, a few smokes and some papers at the front of out tent. Pity we don't smoke it but we did keep the weed for future cooking adventures!!

?????????????
Manky festival shoes!!
I think a few people were taking notice of this tshirt
Dammit!!
Another arvo chill out
Nine Inch Nails. They were wicked. Quite easily the best band I had seen there so far. But Tool were yet to play!!
Trent Reznor
After being extremely hypo all afternoon (much to the amusement of Alicia) I was stoked to see the band I had come to see!!!! TOOL
They were awesome!!! As you would expect. Fantastic way to end and awesome weekend!!
When in Rome.....
The Heineken Museum!!
Nicola introducing my big sis to the local drop!!
Jodie embracing Dutch culture
The weary travelers.
Reunited once again!!
Could of been the Dutch brownies, the arvo beers, the rain or a combination of the 3 that compelled Nicola and Jodie to dress as Muslims for the ride to the restaurant.
Very Dutch Sam!!
Site seeing on the "Fiets"
Chillin on the canal bike while Sam and Jodie do the peddling.
A cool but extremely tiring way to see the city.
Sam at the sex Museum,
Jodie meeting the latest addition to the Taylor family. Yorick!! He looks pretty good in a glasses but I am not sure about the girly ear rings!!
