Sightseeing in Amsterdam
Okay.. So last Wednesday, Rianne, also known as missy-myra came to Amsterdam for a day.. She'd only been in the city for four times or something, so we did some typical tourist things. I was born, and still live here but just never came around going around like a tourist :p...
First, we went on a canal cruise (you know, Amsterdam and her famous canals)..

On a cruise like this, they sail you around in a big boat with to many people in it.. :p I thought there would be a guide in the front who explained what you were seeing and such, but it turned out they just played a tape with the same line first in Dutch then in English, German and French.. Very irritable, especially because it was so loud that you couldn't talk anymore..
Another boat, to give you an impression :p
We cruised around for about an hour, and even though the tape and the typical tourist where kind of annoying.. we had fun. :p We came off the boat at the Central Station and from there we walked to the Rokin.

Of course, when you are in Amsterdam and at the Rokin (and a tourist I suppose, because I never did it before :p) you have to visit the:
I didn't really know what to expect in there.. We both didn't I'm sure.. There was an exhibition 'Sex trough the ages' at the moment, I don't know if that permanent or if they change it once in a while..
Well, I can tell you one thing! It surprised the hell out of me to see all they things they already did in, let's say 1890.. Of course, sex is nothing new so I shouldn't be surprised to see they already knew how enjoy themselves back then, but I don't know.. You just have another image in you head when you think of your grandmother's (and before them) generation. (Think of threesomes and foursomes in not so charming positions :p)
You also come across a lot of funny and stupid things, like a life size dick coming out of the floor (I tried to get Rianne to sit on the balls or at least stand next to it for a pic, but she didn't.. (why ow why would that be I wonder :p) And stuff like this:
The eyes you see here actually moved.. Lol.. (And again, click)
After spending some time in the museum (it has a lot of floors) we walked around a bit until we took the bus back.. (I live like a 10 minute walk from downtown Amsterdam, but why walk if you don't have to right?) We spend some more time at my crib, behind the computer (surprise, surprise :p)
At 530 PM we had Rianne back at the station and on her way home with the train..
Also, like you probably already noticed.. :p I finally managed to change my lay-out.. (Of course not all on my own, I stole it (credit in my profile).. But I still changed it on my own *jeej* lol.. And I put the header up, it's temporary, I have to make another one but didn't come around doing that yet..
