Amsterdam in the Spring – Part 3 – 2024

Not my type of shoes but Clint wanted me to try them on, I think they are too big.

We did go to the Sex Museum and Prostitution Museum. I know what you are thinking but they actually were very interesting and in fact, I found the Prostitution Museum quite sad. There was a lot of information and stories and the history of the sex trade etc. I was surprised also to go down to the Red Light District and see women in the windows selling sex. I honestly thought that was a thing of the past but nope. There they were. I found this also very sad. You are not allowed to take photos in this area at all.

And below, to wrap up our trip to Amsterdam, is a selection of random photos.

So that was 2024 travels. We also went to Algonquin Park in the Autumn but I did blog about that already. In February of this year, 2025, we went to Costa Rica and I have also blogged that trip.

We since went to Europe for 5 weeks which hopefully I will have ready to talk about next. We spent a week in London, a 10 day bus WWI and WWII bus trip through Belgium to Paris, then 12 days on our own in Paris and then another 11 day bus trip around France and to Monaco. That was in April/May 2025.

So until next time, take care…
