I have only been in Amsterdam 3 days and already I feel at home with this city. Despite the changeable weather, it is showing off in all it’s glory! Each canal, each lane way is framed with the last of the summer flowers and other gorgeous foliage.
The buildings in the old city are simply stunning. The Dutch are doing a lot of restoration so scaffolding masks some of the more famous sights like the Royal Palace and the fabulous Reijksmueseum.
I am happy though as I have stumbled across a great bookshop , cheese shop, wine shop and an organic bakery all within 5 minutes walk from where I am staying.
Still haven’t found a cafe that can make a decent coffee. Luckily I bought my own!
Love Amsterdam and all the tall people within it. I finally blend in!!!
