Amsterdam Part 3: Sunday Market

Leave a comment

On our last day, we visited a sunday market close to the apartment where we stayed. Relaxed Sunday morning with relaxed people.

The market and some stores, mainly with “creative” people, is located on a former manufacturing site west of downtown Amsterdam. Nice atmosphere within all these old brick buildings

Amsterdam Part 1: Seafood birthday dinner

Leave a comment

It’s P’s birthday so we went for a special dinner to Amsterdam and spent some hot summer days in the city. The food was fabulous, thanks to a tip from Bernard’s parents, a former colleague from Deutsche Börse.
