Got up to start our trip.  Everyone had their bags weighed before we could board the bus.  We were allowed 20kg max when we started the tour.  Everyone knows this, but there was still a few who had to get rid of some weight somehow!  I don't know how I did it but my bag was like 15-16 kilos on the way over.  I still managed to bring a few things which I didn't even wear.  Probably just wore my jeans to deaths and some different shirts mainly.  Everyone says pack your bags then half it.. and it's probably true :)

We then had a drive past the hills of Dover to the ferry to France, then drive to Amsterdam.  It was pretty rough on the way over!  Had Dinner at hotel then red light district and sex show ;)  The hotel was pretty new and was the nicest hotel that we were to get on our trip.  None of the hotels were too bad at all, however this one was extra nice. 

The red light district is just what you imagine. Million of bikes!
Million of bikes!
 . girls literally in windows with red lights in them!  The guys out of 'curiousity' asked a few girls how much it was and they said "50 Euro Suck n Fuck." Hmm.. interesting.  There was rumours a few guys disappeared later on, but noone knows the truth! ha.  The sex show was exactly that!  It was an 'optional extra' that was not included in the brochures. I wonder why?! It was this little dark theatre like a small movie theatre and there was a revolving stage in the centre.  Your admission includes one hour and then you leave.  It is continous and people come in and out.  At first you are like omg there are people having sex on the stage right there.. doing everything you can imagine but after a while you are like oh yeah.. that looks uncomfortable or whatever.  So robotic.. not like porn movies.  Not that I have seen porn! :)  Let's just say it was a very funny icebreaker to the start of our tour on the first night.  There was only 2 people that didn't go and they were the ones from Singapore.. probably have that at home heh.
 
Next day we went to Edam and did a bike ride on crazy old granny bikes! So much fun. Then visited Cheese n Clog factory.  We then had free time in the afternoon to do as we wanted.  Some people went to the Heineken factory which was supposed to be pretty awesome and some went to Van Gogh museum or Anne Frank's house.
