Dam weather…
Just realised I didn’t wrap up the weekends activities.
Robot sex
We checked out the sex show - the name had ‘elephant’ in it I think and was recommended by the Lonely Planet. What a load of rubbish. I guess I was intrigued so I’m glad I went so at least I can feel qualified to comment and also as it real is part of the Amsterdam experience.
I don’t know how long we were ther but I think we watched the full selection of shows. The show is based in a small theatre with everyone sitting civilized in their chairs while two guys go up and down serving drinks.
You are then treated to series of shows - couples doing their thing on a revolving stage broken up by shows featuring individual girls doing speciality acts. Have to say I was dissapointed not to see and ping pong balls being involved.
The whole thing was so emotionless. The actors were so automated with their routines it really killed off any sexiness. Safe to say that is the one and only sex show I’ll be going to.
What happened to summer?
For the remainder of the weekend we walked all over the city covering the bits we’d missed on the Saturday. It pretty much rain the whole time. Very miserable. I sensibly went out in flip flops. Idiot. Still we perservered and when the sun did come out it was beautiful. With a day to kill we browsed a lot of shops and stopped at lots of bars. Amsterdam is a great place for sitting outside drinking.
Hopefully next time July will feel like July…

the strip club we went in in bangkok was much the same, no life and there seemed no point to it. Everyone was waiting to go home sort of. we were just looking for a drink so the pool bar next door without any girls was much better and we even sung with the band and argued to get the whole whiskey bottle so much better night. I do like amsterdam some how though, I’ve mostly been in spring, and they serve the best tea. If you would like a nice weekend of shopping and eating come to Cologne/Koln with us some time?
