The city sleeps
Posted by Alan on Apr 30, 2009 in Travel
Today we explore Amsterdam and the Queens Day celebration. We’ve been told that it is a huge street festival all day and that the center of town becomes a giant flea market. People have traveled here from around the world to celebrate, and supposedly there are over a million visitors to Amsterdam. Last night the city was howling with activity, but this morning the city lies still. I think everyone just went to sleep… it’s 9:45am. While we’re here we have plans to visit the Anne Frank House as well as the Van Gogh Museum, and maybe the Heineken Museum as well. Now it’s time to find a traditional Dutch breakfast.
Here are 2 pictures looking out the window of our hotel.
