We are here. We arrived in Amsterdam at 7:50 am there time, 1:50 am our time. We have been awake for over 24 hours and are exhausted, but we are alive and well. First Class was all it was cracked up to be. We were served like kings and queens all through the night. I will admit it was tough to leave the plane when we taxied in. It is FREEZING! As David likes to say, "We are freezing our Badonkerdonks off." This is definitely not the touristy time of year.
What we have seen so far is a mixture of beauty and depravity, or as we like to call it "the world." Our hostel is right beside the famous Red Light district. This is an area of legal drugs and prostitution. On the main roads you see beauty all around, river canals and huge architecture. You find yourselves walking down a side street and have to train your eyes not to window shop because if you don´t you will find yourself gazing at a naked woman waiting in a window for someone to buy her, someone looking for love in a very wrong place. It is sad, very sad.
Much more will come. Chaio for now!
