... 5,50 euro and three days ago it cost me ten euro. Hmmm. I dont get it. I next went to the docks in front of the Victoria HOtel for a 90 minutes harbor cruise. It was part of my "I Am Amsterdam" card, which in retrospect, turned out to be a rip. I ...

... except everyone is smoking joints instead of drinking. Walked back to Central Station and had dinner at the Victoria Hotel on Damrak before joining our "Amsterdam After dark" tour. This began at the Prostitute Information Centre with a brief talk given ...

... long. By the time we left the museum it was time to meet the bus so we had to make a  mad dash back to the Victoria Hotel. On the way we quickly ducked into a few shops so I could buy some souvenirs I hadn't yet managed to buy. I wanted ...
