I went to Amsterdam last november and I'm going again next week because it is such a perfect time to visit....

Lots of wrapping up warm and drinking hot chocolate and walking by frosted canals...

It's great...

My hubby likes the idea of the Sex museum (hes got no chance) haha.

We are off to Seattle for a few days ( that's a great City).

Enjoy your trip.

Went to Amsterdam on mini cruise on 5 November 2002, had a GREAT time - with the girls. Left hubby at home so we went to the Sex Museum - that's an eye opener! Worth a visit (for a laugh/to put images in your head you didn't need!) and very cheap to get in.

It was pouring with rain, but didn't stop our fun!!

I would suggest avoiding a pub called Teasers - if you're the jealous kind (like me!) or your husband may want a 'body shot' from one of the attractive barmaids!!

Apparently the canal cruises are lovely - we didn't do this so we're going again in April 2003.

I'm sure you'll have a lovely time.

I may has misspelt it - sorry BB! You may know even better than me!

For 25 Euros - the girl sits up on the table opens her legs the man stands between them while the girl sprinkles salt between her B's and the man gets 10 seconds to lick it off, he then downs a tequila shot, and gets 10 seconds to suck on a lime in the girl's mouth. The DJ is counting down and the whole bar watches.

I know a little too much about this don't I!! It wasn't me - honest!

Oh is that all? I worried it might involve a ping pong ball.

I used to live in Amsterdam for 3 years. Amd now in the UK, planning to emmigrate to NZ this year.

If you have any questions on Amsterdam or The netherlands in general, I will be pleased to help.

And yes, I know all the sordid details about most of the Amsterdam culture!
