greetings,
Its been over two years since I was here.
I've been coming to AMS since 2001, so I've done the RLDs. Hope Alkmaar still rocks. Done GT, Living Room, Samya, Palace and my go-to for the last 6 years, YinYang.

I'm still a month away from my next yearly pilgrimage (last one was 2 years ago), and this time, would like something
more raunchy, deviant or just plain more interesting than a suck fuck from a Romanian Barbie.

Bernds - limited choices/less than spectacular beauty?? Yes - if it means more interesting erotic moments.
I've always placed more value in a welcoming atmosphere, intelligent foreplay, technique and a girl enjoying her work than 9s or 10s optifucks. hence, my YinYang over GT, anytime.

Most of the reviews seem dated so:
1. I'm a non-Caucasian hyphenated American professional artist, and depending on the light, have been taken for Japanese, or Hispanic. Never a problem anywhere in the EU - but these are new times. I can handle overt racism, but want to be comfortable. Is Bernds comfortable, beyond just being correct? Not only the management, but the local clientele as well?

2. Getting there - what train/taxi route do you recommend? Will be coming from either AMS Centraal, or Bruxelles.
I like to return to the same FKK the next day - any lodging tips near Bernds? either Mon Tue or Thur Fri.
If I do this, I might as well continue on to either Berlin or Munich to see friends. Is this practicable?

3. I'm not big on voyeurism, or couch action. I am eager though for roleplay and being dominant in psychological games.
Not into leather, humiliation or physical violence. Hair pulling, spanking yes - but its more a psych setup that excites me. Sounds like the chances of finding this would be greater at Bernds than any other place?
Any girls I should look out for? Add anal and I'll be in heaven, but not essential.

4. Babylon - is it an option I should consider?

I'll miss the robes, YY's facilities, and am a little bit self-conscious with my body. Nonstop full nudity bores the crap out of me after 10 minutes - but hey, I'll suck all that up.
Any info will be most appreciated. Gaston - you seem to be the expert on Bernds?
I have always travelled alone - but if anyone here is going, wouldn't mind the company this time. Full report afterwards.
cheers.

I can't help you re: issues of ethnicity or role playing.

But in terms of logistics the easiest thing is to take the a train to the Hennef Bahnhof and then take a cab to Hotel Reuter. There is a bus that can get you within walking distance, but you have to know where to get off. The cabs know about Bernd's and are there at the station, and the hotel can call one for you to return.

Hotel Reuter is a 5-10 minute walk to Bernd's through a pleasant residential neighborhood. It's relatively inexpensive, the rooms are clean but minimal, and the breakfast is pretty good and included. I'll usually stay at Bernd's until closing, sleep over at Hotel Reuter, and then take off the next morning.

Remember that Bernd's is not open Sat or Sun!

There's also this place you can walk to from the Hennef Bahnhof in 15-20 minutes...

I offer it without judgement. It's part of the so-called RTC chain of inexpensive FKK's. They specialize in AO (condom-less) services. As a club it's not terribly inspiring. You certainly don't go there for the food. But it's generally stocked with Romanian girls who range from 4 to 7, the sessions are inexpensive, and for those who are not risk averse it has what others may not.

(Truth is Bernd's has something of a reputation for AO services as well. The difference is that not every girl has it on offer, and those that do offer it don't offer it to everyone, and it doubles the price of the session.)

I've never seen any issues with guys getting in at Bernd's.
I've seen men turned away at GT.
Obviously drunk, and rowdy groups.
I've heard of north african guys being turned away at the door.

Both Bernd's and Babylon are towels for the Bears, not robes.
Most girls at Bernd's that I remember were nude, most at babylon were in bikinis.
Both offer the chance for a little bondage or roleplay, but I think it is more likely at Babylon.

I stay near Maastricht.
Found a place outside of Vaals with a pool.
I'm visiting Bernd's at the end of August, and plan a first look at Sixsens on the same trip.
When will you be there?

weasel

thanks gents.
I looked it up at ISG, and yes, Reuters seems to be the place.
Also the race comfort level seems assured.
Weasel - unfortunately, my window is Aug 6 to the 15th only.
How far is Maastricht from Bernds? I'm assuming you're driving?

I think that covers all the bases. Its always more exciting anyways not knowing everything.
cheers

It's 45-60 minutes to drive to Bernd's.
About the same to the NRW clubs, and less to Babylon.
I have a few stops this summer, and a car is a must.
I like staying in the Netherlands if I get the choice, and Maastricht is not a bad little town.
I've never stayed at the place that caters Bernd's. it's walking distance.
I'll be sure to read your stories!

Weasel

thanks Weasel.
btw, I assume you're in WI? I used to work in Eagle River - loved the morning light and fog on the lakes,
where the horizon disappears into white.
drive around huh? I hope to do that on the NRW someday...enjoy.

Guava,

I was just at Nelson's Hardware today!
Eagle RIver is about an hour south of my cabin, and the only town in this part of the world that sells much beyond beer and bait!

Have a blast at Bernd's. I'm right behind you.

Weasel

Total bummer. Today Thursday I got in and checked The Hague to Hennef - 4 hrs. and with them closed on weekends, looking like no Bernds experience for me this time. Yin yang the comfortable go-to, but had been hoping for a new experience. Any last minute tips for some place closer?

Too bad.
You would like Bernd's.
On the closer path, how about Babylon or Sexsens.
Babylon is great for a few romps, but not much of a place to hang out and relax for the day.
Their website
http://www.saunaclub-babylon.com
has most useful information.
I'm interested in visiting Sexsens next week.
It is just barely on the Netherlands side of the border between Maastricht and Aachen.
By far the favorite club on the Hookers.nl website, so there must be someting fun to do there!

Weasel

Almost forgot Golden TIme. About the same distance as Yin Yang.
I like it there, but it can get very crowded.

bummer indeed.
we're just missing each by a week, then.
Hope you have a blast.
YY trip report up next.

Interesting read as i'm pretty new to fkk clubs! Thanks

My YinYang report in the Other Cities...Netherlands forum.
I suppose when one actually has to plan these things out, with all manner of timing,
logistics and $$ issues, it's not so simple anymore to just call it a sex vacation.
It's almost a dialogue with oneself - what is it about sex or erotica that moves you,
beyond the physicality itself.
Bernds perhaps in a couple months will be really interesting..

Hi Guava,

Are you still in Germany? We spoke a couple of years ago??

Regards,
Fred

hey Fred,
I'm not sure, in fact I actually doubt it.
Nope I'm not in DE. and have decided against changing my return stateside.
Now that I know I'll be back this way next month - with a chance to check out the Paris scene.
I have one day, or one afternoon left, and will likely check out either Casa Cherda in the Hague,
or Diane's, but I've been there already.

Hello Guava,

That's a smart move. Delta would love you to pay the change fees of 300 USD plus the fare difference. :)

With the price drop in September, it's better to buy a new ticket.

I have not been to Diane's Secrets since the original one was destroyed by fire.

Regards,
Fred

yeah, considering I'd already changed my ticket twice.
Wnt to Ghent to see friends - somehow I missed the last train out, oh no...hence, off to Ghent RLD...a previous report from last week still forthcoming.

And - with all the lack of info about Ghent, and that there's only the RLD worth checking out?
well then, your intrepid reporter found a charming small prive that caters to locals.
Their shtick? - an accompanied shower to start - the madame insists,
and a lineup of 4-7s by FKK standards. Profiles on their site, as some
do GFE and others don't. 80e per 30min. shower before and after.
Would report but am off on a hunt...later gents...
