So, about two weeks ago me and a few buddies started planning a trip to Amsterdam for this past weekend. Well, a tour was going there for a day on Saturday and they provide transportation and admission into the Anne Frank Museum and that sold me there. So 3:30am came on Saturday and I was off, it took about three hours to get there and we arrived and headed directly for the Anne Frank Museum. Onto the pictures...

Uhh right...
So basically inside the museum you couldn't take pictures but it was really neat. A lot bigger than I expected and they had some pretty cool videos and the actually diary she wrote in and stuff. It was a neat thing to experience...

Nice little statue of Anne...
After the museum, we wandered around the museum for about two hours looking for the Hard Rock Cafe. Well, we got totally lost and had to ask a lot of people to find where it was. Well, I took some pictures on the way there...

Well, we finally made it to the Hard Rock and ate an amazing burger and threw back some Heineken's.

So, after that we figured well we might as well go to the Heineken Brewery!

Forget the Clydedales, it's all about the Heineken horses!

Had to get the free beer!

Then came into this room that had the entire ceiling filled with beer bottles, it looked awesome!

I swear I really don't drink much...
Well, that place was amazing! After we did that, we ventured to the Red Light District to check it out and see what all the fuss is about...wow! The stuff there is just crazy and I couldn't believe the stuff I saw there, can't really talk about it on the forums :o :o!
Then we ate some dinner and headed back to Germany. Overall it was a blast and I might come out to Amsterdam for New Years which would be amazing, but we'll see. Hope you enjoyed it!
Oh yeah check out these videos...

Is it safe to assume that Times Square back in the day was equally as bad as the Red Light?
Amsterdamn seems AWESOME! One day I may take a trip over there!
Seems like you enjoyed the Heineken Brewery the best =P

Awesome trips Chuck. I'm becoming very jealous of them. No, Harold or Kumar?
-
Great TR Chuck. Glad you get to have some fun still. Why no photos from the Red Light district? This is the "anything goes" board right :D ?

Chuck...

Well, there's signs everywhere saying no pictures and a lot of people have told me if you took any pictures of the girls they will come out and destroy your camera and you. I got some memory of it though, hahah!

So you pretty much remembered what happened to you at Holiday World and said "I will just make a mental image."

I took photos at HW...
