AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS: a Canal cruise and oh, so much more!

Amsterdam is a very pretty city (even throughout the infamous red-light district ["RLD"]).

It's very funny to see the working women in a doorway (or "kamers,” as they're known in Dutch), then stroll along to find a piano bar the next door, then a kamer, followed by a coffeeshop, kamer again, and then a restaurant. Many Kamers, shall we say!!

The RLD is plentiful with men, and couples, and groups, and it’s definitely a high-interest touristic area. Perhaps it is PURE HELL or PURE HEAVEN for certain folks to see the women dressed so scantily & shakin' their "goods" at them, and then there’s me, trying to find a burqa for my upcoming trip to Egypt. Such a contrast!

A VERY funny thing - we have a bar (gay), 🤔🤔, maybe 3 doors down from our hotel called the (close your eyes if you're a good Christian) - the Cockring! 

Ok, so funny story about this bar: we're strollin' down the streets here in the red light district, and there are endless touristy shops of all types, jewelry shops and "coffee-houses" (marijuana boutiques) a plenty, cafes and lots of pizza shops. You get the jist, (everything you could ever want to purchase), so I stop ... looking at this "jewelry" or maybe it was kitchenware, because... you KNOW, most people love household goods. 

James asks," What are you looking at?" I turn to look at him ... after all, wasn’t it OBVIOUS?!  
I was looking at sterling silver table settings, duh!! 🙄😵‍💫🤪 Gees.

It was at this moment that  (*puzzled look*)  I noticed an out of the corner of my eye one of the “napkin holders” around a big dick (sorry Mom & Dad). Would "phallic symbol" be a better word to use here? ... Riddle me that!!?? 🙄😂😱😳😵‍💫. However, it was at that moment that I realized what I initially believed to be LOVELY sterling napkin rings for one’s formal dining table settings, were actually ...ahhh, is there another name? for cockrings?!??!?!?

Needless to say I decided against this table addition, and scuttled off down the alleyway, both of us laughing our faces off.
🤣🤣🤣 Oh the dear!
