Went on a walking tour of Amsterdam. Started in the red light district as that is what Amsterdam is most famous for. The prostitution came from back when sailors used to come to Amsterdam where the big port used to be. Sailors are renowned for sleeping with women and the country didn't like to fact that the sailors were corrupting their women so they decided to set this red light district up to only sacrifice some of their women not all.

Very eery seeing the concentration camps but it was in a way quite adm...

Shortly to find out there was no space left in our hostel! :( Went out fo...
