Amsterdam - Day 3

Friday, October 31, 2008

Last instalment -

I think I shall be creating a 'Travel' post so I can include links to all my holiday posts in a nice and oganised list. I say this now but of course, don't know when it'll actually get done.

We got up early that morning, and unlike the day before we got ready in an hour instead of five. Probably because of the check-out time!

First stop was the [something] Market
I really cannot remember its name - but it's really close to Anne Frank's House, north of it.
Actually, I just did a quick search and I THINK it's the Lindengracht Market

The walk there from Central Station was just lovely
Hotdogs on the way

I was really fascinated by all the mini-vehicles around Amsterdam
They had mini cars and mini vans
I only managed to get the van version on camera

Strawberry ice-cream bicycle!


The market was heaps of fun
Many unusual people and things
Almost got a pair of blue Cheap Monday jeans but realised I hardly ever use my other pair, or any of my other jeans anyway so scrapped that idea

Lots and lots of vintage goods
Clothes, shoes, bags, scarves, postcards, books, jewelry, tea sets etc etc
I especially liked the postcards - they were 1 Euro each though.

This dog belonged to the owner of a stall
He/she was very well-behaved in the van!

Bunch of old buttons
The corners of the photo are blackened not because I was trying to be fancy but because the lens cover of my camera wouldn't open properly...

Crazy cape person.. I don't really know her..

Saw this lady walking her two cats on leashes!! :D
They had a nice-sized audience needless to say

When this horse trotted along there was a couple of stupid english girls next to us
One of them said very loudly and excitedly, 'Oh BLOODY HELL!', grabbed her camera, and started taking pictures of the horse

Which was FINE

Then Rosanne goes something like, 'Haha, look at all of us tourists taking pictures of a HORSE'
To which the dumb girls glare at us with a 'We are NOT tourists whatdoyouMEANNN??' look..

Well it was quite clear that they were, so the conclusion is they were simply dumb COWS.

Dino: I agree!

LOVED walking the streets around the market everything was so interesting to look at!


I look like old boots in this next photo but it's the only one I have (sort of, until I get a certain dvd from a certain someone..hahaha) that kinda shows the blazer I picked up

I liked this woman's skirt!

Yup, we re-visited the clog to get a nice daytime photo of us in it.
It's THE thing to do, now hopefully we'll turn up in the results when someone searches for 'Amsterdam clog' in Google Images - or even 'Two amazing girls in Amsterdam'.


Throughout our stay there my food mainly consisted of:
