This morning we decided to return the bikes and depend on our more trustworthy feet. See, with walking, the worst and most embarassing thing that could happen is that you get run down by a bicycle. It was a drizzly misty morning, perfect for walking with hands in the pockets.
We decided to walk to Waterlooplein for breakfast again, but somehow, although we went there the day before, we kind of got lost again and ended up walking through University of Amsterdam (and again, I am tempted to switch universities).
Guess what we got for breakfast again?
You got it ;) And aside from good food and delicious drinks, there are hot people to look out for too!
To the guy sitting behind, "Oh JA, I would love to go out with you!" :)
Amsterdam is another beautiful city to walk around. I love the small roads and the bridges over the canals, the tall skinny buildings, and the countless bicycles tied to every unmovable thing.
We went to the Flower Market which is a long stretch of road with stalls selling flowers and gardening goodies on one side, and souvenir shops by the bulk on the other. It took us awhile to get from one end to the other as we kept getting distracted by stuff.
Two lips for tulips
They were selling marijuana seeds, 3 cans for €10That night we headed to the infamous must-see: The Red Light District. Thank goodness for Francoise's friends who are working and living in Amsterdam, otherwise we would have gotten terribly lost in the crowd. There were masses of people, everyone just heads there to see the infamous windows.
The RLD is a kind of a 'camera-sensitive' zone so I didn't take many shots here. My first attempt of a photo of the windows was to pretend to take pictures of the swans. I actually felt sorry for the girls. There were so many of them and basically everyone walks by and look at them as if they were exhibits in some museum. And of course if you were willing to pay, "Live Shows". We paid €2 to see a lame peepshow though. Most traumatic and hilarious few minutes.
The canals look lovely at night though.
Last night in Amsterdam, and Europe as a whole!
Oh no!
