Amsterdam - We arrived in the city of drugs, sex, canals to find out yet again we arrived the weekend of Gay Pride once again!! It was now becoming hillarous, if there is a festival in town we seem to come across it!! First stop was a quick tram ride into town to visit the famous 'Bulldog' coffee lounge for some drinks and some freshly baked bakery products.... According to the crew who consumed these items they were perhaps a little tame. So night number two was a little more adventures with some 'organic' vegies if you get my drift. Once again for the participants who were game to trial these food items the result this time was a hillaroius colourful adventure!
In regards to sight seeing Amsterdam is definetley a very scenic city filled with canals, cafes, restaurants and bike riders galore. Sites visited included the Anne Frank house, Van Gogh museum and another walking tour for a guided historic tour of town.
Off course we could not miss the gay pride march, it was everywhere. Dee rated the parade much better than Madrid as the floats were actually real floats along the canals and there were actual correographed dancers, drag queens and spectactular costumes....some also not so spectacular ...leather pants!
Last of all we can not ever forget our visit to the world famous red light distric. Now travelling in a group of 10 we were game enough to enter the seedy bars to watch the live sex show... quite funny yet disturbing with one of the male participants of the show jumping into the crowd to greet one of our female crew members I will leave it to your imagination... Perhaps this was a once only event for the female crew amongst us anyway!
Ok so you will be glad to know that we survived Amsterdam, now off to Berlin!
