@katie.caf.travel: One of Amsterdam’s oldest bars, In’t Aepjen, has a wild history 🐒🍻 Back in the 1500s, sailors who couldn’t afford their drinks sometimes paid their tab with monkeys they’d brought back from overseas voyages! 🐵 The bar soon became overrun with mischievous monkeys — and that’s how it got its name, “In’t Aepjen,” meaning “In the Monkeys.” 🏠🇳🇱 You can still visit it today near the Red Light District — a tiny slice of Amsterdam’s seafaring past. ⚓️ I’m sailing through Europe on the Scarlet Lady with @Virgin Voyages #Amsterdam #TravelHistory #HiddenGems #Netherlands #lookatthis
