Only half a day of FREE-TIME in Amsterdam was timing constraining!!! We missed out on a few optionals.... Boo!






A beautiful place, with lop-sided facades (handy of harnessing furniture through the windows)... Amazing look and feel of the place... Oh we will come back to this!



Notice the angle of the building??? Hehe...



Jr's excitments through the glass window.... Various techniques on visual merchandising was an eye-opener... LOL.


One of many entrances of the Red Light District!!


The gadgets in this store was "Mind-Blast-ing!!" LOL.


Amsterdam is crazy for their bikes!! Just make sure you stay off their bike-lanes!!! Eeekkk!





One on many "COFFEE SHOPS" hidden within the RLD. This was the lucky one we spotted to have a 'cup of coffee'... :) Just don't mistaken Coffee Shops with Cafe Shops....



The cravings directed us to a chip shop a few doors down!!!... Delicious!!!!.. Bring on the more Mayo please!!!



FUN-FACT: Amsterdam had many Windmills back in the days to allow the correct water circulation ... Is that right???...



We checked out a Clog & Cheese Workshop...
