September 24 - Amsterdam

Got up at freaking 5am to get on the Contiki bus to Amsterdam! We took the ferry from Dover (so I got to see the white cliffs) and we went to Calais in France and then we drove onto Amsterdam!

That night we went around the red light district - you couldn't take photos, but the hookers have these little rooms with red lights above the doors and big glass doors and they stand in front of the door (or we saw a lady being classy and standing to the side but so that her image was reflected off an mirror and through the glass). Basically they stand there until someone comes over to negotiate a price, and then they shut the curtains. They have a bed, a sink and mirror and sometimes a shelf with towels and stuff on it. That is about all.

It was interesting where they built the district because it was right next to a really old church (the church was there first) and then on top of the hooker shops there was a kindergarten!! After that some people had the option of going to a sex show but I spent my €26 on a €3.50 beer and a €4 space cake. (Yum. Yes.) Lee from the group also bought us shots and Kelly shared her white widow with us. Hee. That was fun wandering around in the seediest streets ever.
