What's a shnitzel without orange?

Our time in 'The Dam' has been spent mainly just walking around and sitting in cafes [not that type!] which has been really nice.
Not sure if the Dutch are as relaxed as the Belgians but they seem jollier! And our made up stereotypes are probably right...
After blogging yesterday we went for another wander and did find the red light district! To our disapointment only the larger clubs and shows looked open, whereas today it was much livelier, even in mid-afternoon; very surreal! We did try to take a few photos to show just how surreal the women walking around looked, but a helpful shopowner warned us that if we weren't careful one of the ladies would throw bottles of water at us from the windows; we quickly put the camera away.
We brought some fun cacti from the floating flower market, ate weiner shnitzel and found many h&m's and a Lidl.
To avoid paying for wi-fi we're sat in one of the biggest squares in the city with a pint at the moment, we're being very european with drinking!
Tomorrow we're off to the island...




The joys of the red light district!
