As an after-thought, it was interesting to us to find this poster on the streets of Amsterdam:

I really don’t think anything else needs to be said on this. Who cares if the tattoos are painted on. It’s just… gorgeous!

On our arrival at Cardiff airport earlier this week, we were suitably surprised to hear of the new guidelines being issued by the US Department of Homeland Security. Apparently, additional forms are now mandatory for anyone hoping to get into the US on any flight – and these have to be submitted one hour before the due departure of your flight. Government officials need to know not only your name, gender, D.O.B etc – but now they also need your hotel address. Incase, you know, they let you on and then realise at a later date that you are probably about to hijack the flight home. Think what you will, kids. Anyways, took a copy of said form and snapped a shot of it. The file is enormous when clicked, just to warn.

Lucky for us, we were headed to Amsterdam. It was absolutely as we expected – you can see some images on my photoblog if you’re interested.
