After extensive research on yelp and tripadvisor, we ended up at an Irish pub for dinner. I had fish and chips and Nicole had a chicken pot pie with potatoes. Little did she know, the potatoes had bits of HAM in them! I am actually not making this up. It is like a cruel joke.
After that, we wandered a bit. We walked through De Wallen area, which is better known as being the Red Light District. There were, in fact, actual red lights. It's hard to imagine anyone actually being a customer, unless they are shameless enough to enter one of these places in front of a Chinese tour group. It's all very fascinating to see a place where prostitution is legal and essentially a tourist attraction. I guess it gets shadier when the sun goes down . . . which takes a while in the summer.
And that's that for Amsterdam. We are now packing and ensuring everything is set to go for our flight tomorrow. We fly to Newark, which should take us about 9 hours. We are both looking forward to a good, ham-less meal.
