Red Light Suprise

So Amsterdam is well known for a couple things, but one being the famous Red Light District. Yes at first we were a little skeptical on going, but I mean come on, we had it see it for our own eyes.  Accompanied by our lovely Dutch friend Nieky and her parents (trust me, it was nice to walk around with a couple adults), we walked the streets of the Red Lights. I personally thought, "oh there will be like 10-15 red light slots"....uhmmmm no. There was probably closer to 100 if not more. They were everywhere. You walk down a little ally way and there is at least 15 on each side. Because you are curious....most of the girls are from Germany and Poland and are mostly in their 20's. It was just crazy to us that something like this actually existed on the streets. Plus, in between the different red light slots are bars and clubs with "dirty" actions going on inside. No we didn't go inside!

So yes people, everything you have heard about the Red Light District in Amsterdam is most likely valid. It was a crazy thing to see, but was necessary to see it for your own eyes :) We didn't take any good photos, but feel free to google.
