Is worth a visit.

In case you can’t find any filth or are too shy, you can visit the more reputable, high street face of sex, the sex museum located on Dammstrav about 200 yards away from central station.
The museum consists of many bits and pieces, sure to entertain and amuse, like a history of fucking, how it came about and how we can make money out of it..

Here’s a picture.

Situated on the edges of some canals round the square. It’s almost as much fun finding it as going inside.
Here we can learn about dope, how nice it is and why we should smoke more of it.

This bloke has collected a lot of weed and put it on a lorry to drive round with.

Live and learn
If you have never known much about pot before coming to Amsterdam, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

Pot is not an accepted drug but its been around and actively used for 8,000 years in societies across the world from the Mesopotamia to the Indians and western Europeans.

It may take 8,000 more to try and wipe it out so why we bother is anyone’s guess.

I have captured the spledours of dutch innovation in industrial beer making, here is a sample.

The tour is made up of many things.

After passing through some history and corporate aspirational material, the beer production process is perhaps the reason most people come to the Heineken brewery.

Should be your first port of call, as they give you a free pint pitcher, which can come in handy if you are serving your own drinks late into the night in your own hotel-room.

I had been warned that there were many Museums in Amsterdam.

There are so many you’ll probably have to limit the time or choose the ones that suit you best.

Best of Three
Out of a combination of chance and bad map reading skills, the 3 I managed to take in were…

I will explore the city.

I have picked up these discount cards from the hotel.

This means I can get in a load of places I was going to go free and whatnot.

Had a few drinks around Leidsplein last night.

Compared to America this is a drinkers Utopia.

Here’s some bikes.

2 Blocks off Leidseplein, pronounced Light-spline.

The Damm has 2 main blocks, Damm square and this one Leidsplein which is home to the Boom Boom theatre, Chicago Rocks Hard rock café Casino etc. All the things you might expect, flashing lights, bars, people enjoying themselves in the bars and clubs.

I guess the cafés were closed last night. I only saw one guy sitting outside smoking, perhaps all the stoners go home early.

Hotel Crystal
The place where I am staying. Woke up late and missed breakfast. Girl got me a bowl of corn flakes.
The hotel cost €40 per night.
It’s clean, quite and functional.

Last time I was camping out. It was freezing. I had no money.
I started working at a tulip factory until I lost my passport in Hoorne.
