Amsterdam X - A pink day, today!

I don't know why but today everything on my way was... Pink!

Amsterdam XIX - Pre-Packed-Pic-nic lunch (in a sunny spot with a view)

Our hosts at B&B Blossom are awesome. The amazing breakfasts they prepare for us each each day are so complete that today we decided to have a picnic by the canal, to enjoy the sun! Lovely.

Amsterdam VIII - Urban intervention

Amsterdam is full of graffitty - in certain áreas - some are really good (others are not)

Amsterdam VII - So many street markets, so little time...

Amsterdam VI - Begijnhof

The Begijnhof is one of the oldest inner courts in the city of Amsterdam. A group of historic buildings, mostly private dwellings. As the name suggests, it was originally a Béguinage.  It bore close resemblance to a convent, although the beguines enjoyed greater freedom than nuns in a convent. While beguines took a vow of chastity, and while they considered themselves obliged to attend Holy Mass every day and pray various official prayers, they were free to leave the court at any time in order to get married.

Amsterdam V - Vinyl & bikes (a perfect combination?)

Drooling:

J spent the entire trip going in/out of vinyl stores. In awe.

Me, I spent the whole time checking out all the bikes. Finding it impossible to choose only one...

Amsterdam IV - Yummy food

1 - Dutch waffle with hot chocolate and sour cream (yum!)

2 - Different varieties of Gouda cheese

3 - Breakfast tray (a different menu prepared by our hosts every single day)

4 - Greek yogurt and raspberries while studying the city map

5 - Jasmin Green Tea

4 - Dutch bread pudding with red fruits and carrot cake

Amsterdam III - Nice, nice, things everywhere!

Amsterdam II - every step we take

Everywhere we went made me look. I looked everywhere, and even some of the floors were interesting! Sorry about the shoe repetition, but we only took one pair each!

Amsterdam I - fell in love with the city

Yes, I fell madly in love with this city on the first day.

Maybe it was the french fries.

Maybe the bikes are to blame.

Or maybe the tulips with their bright colours.

I don't know.

I want to live here!
