Alex de Leeuw: Day One in Amsterdam

This week we have our first guest writer. Say hello to Alex the Lion. Alex lives in the class room where my girlfriend teaches and he spends his weekends staying with the children so that they can write about the adventures they have together. The children asked me to look after Alex for a week so I could show him around Amsterdam. Since Alex is Dutch I have translated his writings into English.
