What a faff about blogger is, why cant they just put the photos in the order you have uploaded.
Day 1,Went to down to the tram, course we just jumped any old tram thinking it would take us to Dam Square nope, we had to get off 2 stops later to get on another tram, just as well this one had a conductor on for the tourist idiots.
Made it into Dam Square, it was absolutely mobbed with people.
We seen Madame Tussauds decided to go there since not much of a q.
Kept all my ticket stubs for my scrapbook pages.
Some of the wax works were like the person , but some I thought who the hell is that?Had to go up & read who it was especially Robbie Williams they maybe got the mouth right but the rest no,no.
However Bob Marley was a dead ringer also George Clooney was really good.
Gordon posed with Kylie.
There was a huge circular window up high looking over Dam Square stunning, unfortunately the photos did not come out so well.
We then went for a vodka at the next bar we came to & eek the prices E14 for a round of drinks.
Went for tea, it was really really busy I had a pizza which was so so, Gordon had Fillet Steak & pepper sauce & trimmings.
Everyone sits outside in Amsterdam there was not a cloud in the sky which made the evening really cold, in fact I was really cold.
Went off to another bar this one was even dearer just off Dam square I had a Pina Colada E11 Gordon had Vodka & Coke E9 a total of 20 euros, the euro rate is lousy compared to last year, making it much dearer to holiday in europe.
Had another round of drinks then we ventured off into the red light district.It is funny you can tell you are there by bollards with wee red lights on when we walked up.
Loads of bars with magic mushrooms,hash, power drinks (they call it)chocolate brownies etc,we never tried it we are too square.
We came to an side street which was really busy walked up it, low & behold,there was heaps of wee rooms with red strip lights above the door.
Some of the curtains were closed so obviously some action going on there.
Would have liked to wait to see what type of person came out, but we didn't.
You are not allowed to take any photos in the red light district,so did not get my camera out not even to photo the bollards with the wee red lights.
I was alarmed to see 2 adults taking a young child up there, not really an area suitable for young eyes.
There were all shapes & sizes but didn't see any of the 80 year olds.
Our feet were sore headed back to the bar at Dam square again for another 2 drinks then headed off to the tram back to our hotel, where we had a couple more drinks.
