Starting in Montpellier, France for the Inner Ear Biology meeting. Then travelling by train to Paris, France and then to Amsterdam. Maybe some detours along the way??

Notes
Definitely one of the better-looking cast in town. The downside was that it was too "choreographed". But I had a look at the pictures of other sex shows and Casa Rosso performers are definitely much better looking. One of my friends went to the Banana show. You get entertainment in your face (if you pay for it), so that's the up side, but performers were apparently not so toned, if you get my drift.

Thing to Do
Stationsplein Amsterdam, 1012 The Netherlands +31 20 551 2512
Notes
The Centraal Station in 0.5km from the Hotel. There are 16 tram routes, 11 of which (lines 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 16, 17, 24 and 25) begin and end at Centraal Station.
No reservations made. Closed on Mondays. Probably 8pm dinner. This was by far the BEST restaurant we ate at. The food was excellent and in workable proportions so we were able to have a 3-course meal (I can usually only have a 2-course meal). I had fish and Richard had lamb -- both were superb. Menu changes daily. Highly recommend coming here. In retrospect, I wish I had had dinner here every night!!!

Notes
My view: this was a very small bar but I did enjoy the experience very much. We were the only tourists there that night, and they did have the widest selection of beers ever! Belgium fruit beers included. Very nice.
Frommers page 159. Opening hours Tuesday through Sunday 10am - 6pm. More like a Disneyland for teenage beer lovers. Had things like a DJ booth where you could have your 15 minutes of DJ fame etc. You get 3 beers and a souvenir (bottle opener), though. And the giftshop has fun stuff to buy.
