Amsterdam Walkthrough

By @iliasdiamantis6/28/2018travel

Yesterday, after Blockchain expo had ended I decided to walk my way back to the hotel.

There was a huge park that I came across. It's called Vondel park.

I would characterize Amsterdam as vintage. All the building are the ones that stood there for hundreds of years. Not much modern buildings at least at the places I visited .

Many canals where people would take boats and cruize.

Many churches ...

And other buildings with distinctive architecture.

It seems that NSFW is huge part of Amsterdam culture.

A very interesting monument that I don't know what stands for.

I never liked the concept of wax statues but this building is impressive.

You can also find street performers. Those guys were amazing. The best street performance I've ever heard.

The closest I got to cannabis. Very sweet and tasty chocolate that managed to raise my blood sugar to the roof. Didn't expect anything else.

And last I did a walk on the Red Light District. By far the most touristy of the areas I visited.

It is full of cafes , restaurants , bars . A couple of erotic themed museums and few strip clubs. The prostitutes are in their compartments and they are just a part of the scenery. I am sure that if one day they decide to stop appearing no one will take notice or really care.

After a long walk , I returned to my magnificent one star hotel , got some sleep and today I am ready for the second of the expo.

Be healthy , Smile and Steem on!
