Arrived in AMS (Amsterdam-Schiphol) just after midnight after my flight from LHR (London Heathrow) thanks to the usual Heathrow 1-hr delay, and slept for 9 hours to catch up on the jetlag I hadn't caught up with all week in London.

Out & about on foot visitiing various favorite spots, just finished up dinner at an Argentine steakhouse just outside my hotel on this street:

Enjoyiing a little after-dinner smoke at The Bulldog (just a block from the hotel) and then over to SkySports Tavern to enjoy some live NCAA hoops action on the plasma screens, sipping cold beers and admiring the indescribably shaply blonde Canadian waitress that works the upstairs bar.

Enjoy your weekend, too.

When you say "smoke", were you refering to the psychoactive THC variety?

I have never been even slightly tempted by prostitution, although I have to admit there were a couple redlight shops/windows on the street one block from my hotel (there are 'little' redlight areas all over town) that were actually young, in good shape, and decent looking ..... nah, still not really tempted.

As for other tempting and only-legal-in-Amsterdam activities .... yes.

Downstairs at SkySports sports tavern, the hot little Brazilian is working the bar ... normally that black waitress doesn't look like the Queen of the Damned, that's a camera effect ..... probably.

Not *all* the streets in Amsterdam are insanely narrow ... but it's still damned expensive to have a car there, from what I hear.
