Four of us - G, LS, KT and me - took a day trip to Amsterdam - from Oxford! Being such a short trip, we only had time for three things - Anne Frank, canals, sex and of course, food.

I think it was organised by the Oxford Union. I no longer remember when we set off - could be Friday night or Saturday morning. But we took the bus and crossed the English Channel on a ferry to get to France before continuing our drive up to Amsterdam!
It was a cold winter morning. We started with the Anne Frank House. Took a picture but we might not have gone in - it wasn't open? If so, then we must have left Oxford on Friday night.. But really, I don't remember *.*
We kind of chanced upon the Sex Museum, and that was where yours truly first sat on the huge balls of a proportionately huge penis *.*

We roamed the city a little, following the canals here and there. They were different from those in Venice - they were in many concentric rings around and through the city. I seem to recall that the water had a strange smell..
At night, we checked out the red light district. The girls were like store mannequins in lit show glasses. When we took out our cameras, one of them shook her head to indicate to us that we could not do that. Oh well..
We also passed by a shop selling interesting stuff - could they be what they called "magic mushrooms"? On the bus, we were told over and over again that we couldn't bring back any of them. Think they're now banned in the Netherlands as well.
We used up the last of our money on dinner and ice cream before crashing in the bus. It was a very tiring but fun weekend trip! (With no homework done!)
