Amsterdam Sex Musem Weekend Visit

Last week we were in Amsterdam and after a couple of visits to some "serious" museums, we treated ourselves to the Sex Museum. Aside from the cheapest entrance fee, the theme was not so serious/heavy and that we could still allow some room for enjoyment!

Looking at the museum at this modern age is not that interesting I think that how it was a decade ago and earlier. Everything is online these days but of course, there are so much to learn also from the museum. Like there were those antique "peeping boxes" (I don't really know how they're called) where there are black and white photos of women... maybe in underwear... and pyjamas????!!!

See below possible items that one may see in the Sex Museum of Amsterdam. It's fun to see, it's educational too and it's only for Eur 4,00. ENjoy and have fun!

Amsterdam Weekend Fun

Having a sunny day here in Netherlands for quite the whole day is a real blessing. We were lucky to have it on that Saturday when we planned to go around the city of Amsterdam. We were able to walk around without problem, to enjoy the attractions, the canal cruise,museums, and the rest.

Although it was sunny, it was still having fresh breeze,thus I was really lucky to have my jacket with me. Along the course of the day, the activities continue and the energy started to get turned on and the heat could be felt. However, so long as we were under the shadows, without the direct hit of the sun rays, it was still a bit cold.

The Amsterdam experience started right after we arrived at the central station (train) of the city with a single train trip of about an hour and a half from my domicile city, Nijmegen. It was a busy day, as expected, in the busy city where everyone meets/ends up in Europe: Amsterdam!
