Sunday, March 16 – Alkmaar

I arrived at Schipol in Amsterdam around 5:30am, and slowly made my way by train to Alkmaar. I wanted to see if Alkmaar would be worth visiting in the future. It was raining when I arrived in Alkmaar, and I walked across the street from the train station to my hotel, the Stad en Land. I checked in about 10am, went to my room, took a nap, and then around 8pm walked down to the Achterdam.

It was cold, and I barely had warm enough clothes. As I strolled in and out of the passage ways, looking at the girls in the windows, I became dissappointed with the talent level, and after completing my first tour, was already thinking that I would leave first thing in the morning for NRW Germany.

I finally chose a young fairly cute blond girl named Gigi. She was fun, and the service ok. 35 Euros, which to me, is really a bargain. I then went back out in the cold, and took a walk around the old part of town. Even in the night time, I was in awe at how beautiful this town is.

I came back to the Achterdam, and did’nt really find anything too tempting. The curtains were closed on two of the windows that I had noted earlier. I finally settled on a girl that was in the kamer at address 39, #2. This kamer is set back from the street. She was fairly tall, with long black hair to her bum. Her name is Petra, and I believe she said she is from Hungary. She was very cute and fun, so I stayed for a second session. 150 Euros for probably an hour and a half.

I don’t know if Alkmaar was better years ago, but compared to the clubs in Germany this was not worth it. The number of hot looking girls was just too small, and if the curtain was closed, you would have to wait in the cold. So instead of my original plan of staying in Alkmaar two days, I boarded a train in the morning en route to Moenchengladbach, NRW, Germany.

I will comment though, that for travelers coming from far away, a visit to Alkmaar could be improved by staying at the Hotel te Laat, which is very close to the Achterdam, and by visiting in the summer when the weather is more favorable.

falco,

that all sounds familiar - the Hotel Stad & Land across from the station - did you have porn movies on tv ?
at least you certainly didn't get disappointed in Alkmaar Achterdam, of course a visit in summer offers more venues ....

Hi Wim, no I did'nt see porn on the tv, but the staff there were very pleasant. When I checked in at around 10:00am, the lady asked me to pay. The price was too much, but I realized it was for two nights. I had reserverd two nights in advance. I was too tired to react, and just paid for both nights. But in the morning, when I asked them to refund one night, they were very pleasant and gave me cash.

I will say, that on the way home, I flew back into Amsterdam, to catch my trans-atlantic flight. I came so close to changing plans and staying in Amsterdam for two days. The memories...

Nice update Falco. One night in Alkmaar (in the winter) really doesn't do justice to this beautiful town.

Go in the spring,, very nice to sit outside in front of the Cheese Museum and drink a few Palm's.
