TimTravels - City of Amsterdam Part 2

in photography •  8 years ago 

Welcome back my Steemians friends to the second part of my recent Amsterdam trip!

If you missed the first part you can find it here: TimTravels - City of Amsterdam Part 1. We were really lucky with the weather on the first day but the second day was quite bad. Heavy clouds and rain made it hard to take great pictures so we decided to visit some museums. There are a lot of great museums in Amsterdam, for instance, the Anne Frank museum, Van Gogh museum, Rembrandthuis, NEMO, Rijksmuseum and many more.

We however decided to visit the torture museum. You cannot imagine how creative people were when it comes to torture.




This is insane lol. Look at the picture on the left and if you were a bad musician this is your punishment.







The most creepy torture technique is about to come.






This is by far the worst torture I can imagine...






After our visit in the torture museum the sun came out and we had a little walk through the city. Finally we found a nice place to have lunch, called Wagamama. You should try this place! Here are more impressions of Amsterdam.













After walking through the city for hours and hours we felt as if we saw everything of Amsterdam. I know this only can be wrong since there are many hidden gems, but we were tired and wanted to have a relaxed night. We found the worlds first VR cinema and gave it a try. Was a nice experience!








Thank you my Steemians for having a look at the second part of my Amsterdam post. In tomorrows MyPictureSunday we will go together into the Rijksmuseum! Be excited for some amazing shots inside the huge museum and be excited to know who won the third round of MyPictureDay! See you tomorrow.

Yours,
Tim

Holy fuck, I can't describe how uncomfortable the photochain of spiky torture devices made me feel.





Living in the past really sucked. I'm thankful to live today.

I bet the people from the future will say the same about us

You're probably right.

I hope so.

creepy torture stuff!
did you play chess, too?

LOL, why would someone design such a hideous device to inflict so much pain? Ahh...I remember.....most of this shit was designed by the church to punish the so-called "heretics."

I dreamed I could vacation there, can I get there?

Love Amsterdam. Nothing better than chuffing down a fat joint, going to see art, getting steak at Cau and eating waffles for breakfast.

Highly recommend staying at Sofitel Legend the Grand Amsterdam

Upvoted, i liked the post a lot never seen amsterdam before, truly happy for your experiences during traveling. You will be a rich man in no time, maybe not in your wallet, but definitely in things you have seen.

You cannot imagine how creative people were when it comes to torture.

Ever been to the Tower of London? :P
Glad to live in a time and place where petty boy-kings don't get to throw people into suffering like that!

Again, I enjoyed seeing your pictures! Looking forward to tomorrow's post. Didn't get to visit Rijksmuseum when I was in Amsterdam, so guess this will have to do ;)

The pictures are beautiful, the torture museum,, experience, Many torture techniques. Nice job.

I'm @aroyl will wait for your shots next, again thank you very much

The pictures are beautiful

lovely pics dear

That torture museum was pretty freaky. My oldest son went to Amsterdam while studying abroad in Germany and he came back with a souvenir - a pot leaf key chain. I just posted a ton of photos from Tombstone - the "town too tough to die." There are no torture devices, but they are wearing some pretty cool costumes. We also have a hippie town south of Tombstone and it's called Bisbee, the "town too high to care." ROFLOL

Jess the so inhuman, did it happen was it ever real, the food likes to raw to me back here in Nigeria we eat solid food like pounded yam and fufu with delicious soup

Great chance to be a Gothic! Hahaha... cool sharing!

It seems Amsterdam has the best and worst of everything!!

Why do the torture methods have to be so sexually aggressive. The nipple twisters look so happy with themselves.

These nipple twisters are so nasty, I bet it must hurt

What great pictures. Don't expect to go there But now I can talk intelligently to someone about Amsterdam. Beautiful canal and food. I'll save up my Steemits and go someday.

Loving the wood clogs, the torture stuff not so much!!!! I love all the people sitting all over the Amsterdam letters to take photos :) Looks like a fun time

wHERE'S THE REDLIGHT DISTRICT ? :)Jk

That was an incredible day! I feel like I was right there with you, the torture freaked me out a second lol but wow what a day, I would love to experience that theatre you went to how cool! I bet you slept good that might you did so many things! Have a great Sunday

Man, you've shown a very creepy side of Amsterdam here lol

Oh man, I love Amsterdam. Given, the Amsterdam I nearly fell in love with - people riding along the canals on a quiet morning, quaint pancake spots, exceptionally kind people - was somewhat over shadowed by the sex show, alcohol, and weed whirlwind I got swept up in (was on a bus tour in Europe...extra touristy), but still, the five minutes of calm I experienced there were lovely. XD

Great pictures there as usual. It is a very nice place too.

What a spectacular view of these pictures

This was really cool, id love to check out that vortual reality cinema 😂 ... torture chamber photos are great btw! Scary

I was just in Amsterdam in October. What an amazing city. Btw, I loved the Torture Museum also 😍

I visited the torture museum, beautiful! Amsterdam rules!
I also recommend that of San Gimignano in Italy!

the first pictures are strong

Hey Tim, great followup, if a bit disturbing. I found humor in your decision making process.. There are a lot of great museums in Amsterdam... but we chose the torture museum. lol

You captured it all in classic Tim style. Overall it looks like a great trip. How was the vr movie experience, besides "nice"? Did it deliver on a better experience?

Looking forward to your Rijksmuseum post.

good post i am sure that you will find this post very interesting about traveling https://steemit.com/travel/@upbuzz/traveling-like-sweetsssj

Rainy day or not the pictures are good. Loved the scenaries. Thank you again @timsaid, you did a great job.

memories of medieval ages

A lot of fun in Amsterdam! Nice pics!

Thank you so much for sharing all these great photographs. Amsterdam is pretty awesome.

great shots! ive been in amstredam once, it's truely a sick city

The torture room photos remind me of reading the Berserk manga.

Great photograph and nice travel @timsaid, i wanna visit this amtersdam sometime, this country have much story with 350 Years ago.

I did not think that in Amsterdam they were so addicted to torture. That's about the Spanish Inquisition read a lot, but about the Netherlands ...

Neither did I expect that!

Great topic!

Upvoted.

Amazing pics from Amsterdam. Those torture pics made me cringe...humans used to be nasty back then. The food pics were awesome...got me hungry:) Virtual cinema seems so cool.Overall am sure u had lots of fun in Amsterdam in your steem hoodie. Thank u for sharing :)

Humans were bast back then? I'm sure humans are still nasty nowadays. And yes, was a great time. Thanks!

Very interesting post. Wonder why they needed such cruel torturing agents. Those would really make you "shape up!"

Love Amsterdam looks like a very beautiful place thanks for sharing

Thanks

Not far away, try to get there.
And nice post

I remember something that happened a couple of months ago, I was travelling from Bahrain to Bangalore, India. I had transit in Dubai and on the seat next to me comes a drunk guy, jeez, about 6-7 years elder to me, and he asked me atleast 4 times in 10 mins as why am i goin to Bangalore, on the 5th time I said, "i am going to Bangalore cuz i wanna smoke weed!" I expected him to turn his face away in shock but no! his reaction was epic, he was looking at me with a question mark on his face! And he says"Bangalore? When I was your age I used to go to Amsterdam to smoke weed! What are you doing with life?" And he reaches out to his pocket and shows me few stamps on his passport! "I got a lot of friends there man!Treat yourself better! You are not doing enough with your life" And i went dumbstruck!

Amsterdam is a very beautiful city. I lived there in the 90´s. Try to visit coffee shops and Red light area...you will enjoy those locations especially at night due to beautiful lights. Thanks @timsaid for sharing.

I was there. Beautiful :) thanks!

Welcome. Am sure you will have much fun on those 2 locations I mentioned...

Torture museum!! It looked like a private museum, was it?
And that pic of you in big shoes was amazing. First I though it is a hoodie for sale!!

Haha, would be great to buy Steemit hoodies in Amsterdam

Oh wow there's a VR Cinema in Amsterdam now? That's cool, have to visit that when I come back!

What kind of movies do they show? I guess it's a movie that was made specifically for a VR headset, right?

Yes, the movies were made for VR. However they showed several clips rather than a whole movie. Was great though

I've been to one of those kinds of museums before. They are sickening to say the least.

I really love them pictures

Thanks!

I wonder how many in those days found themselves in torture for merely expressing the wrong opinion? Influences always exist to sway us to this position or that, but at least we recognize, for the most part, that having this right to an opinion is what makes us human. Thanks for sharing :-)

Good to read you went back after our walk to take a look at the Rijksmuseum. I'm looking forward to read what you thought of it! I hope you enjoyed the art :)

Very interesting article! Keep up the good work, friend! I will definitely follow you, you can also check my profile and if you like my articles feel free to follow me too! :)

Nice post.

I love Amsterdam...and would love to back. Never been to the torture chamber although I did get dragged into the sex museum which was horrific enough haha. Maybe because everyone is stoned, but I did find it to be a very friendly and really cultural place. Will check out your first blog now .

Gotta love a good torture museum! Stepped into one in Prague and some of the ways people died were crazy. There were 2 main questions that popped into my head, how could we as people, find this acceptable and normal; and who in this world actually came up with these ideas?

Amazing article with gorgeously beautiful pictures.
I wish all the best for you in the future.

Also have a look at the Steem Stocks initiative, your support is much appreciated.
