Day 3 : Go to Amsterdam

 

My cousin prepared our breakfast with salad that included some olives, cheese and mango sauce. It's quite different style from ours and seems I was a cow eating grass, but it's very tasty and healthy.

Strawberries and tomatoes were also prepared.

The other one is baked croissant with cheese and ham.

 

It was also the day of Queen's Day helded in Holland, particulary

in Amsterdam. People would wear clothing, crown, neckerchief or any kind of things with orange color to celebrate it on the streets and the canals in Amsterdam. Also, it is the one day of the year the Dutch government allows flea market held on the streets without a permit.  

cups, dishes, vases and so many things you could find here

Many children even sold their toys too.

crowded street

People were dancing, drinking and singing on the boats. 

You can see the sea of orange here and there.

Friendly people saw us taking photos and gave us a big smile.

 

 

The following photos were taken in Hague.

The pictures were taken outside of a shop selling souvenirs.

  • When I was in Amsterdam on April 30, it was about 20C. The weather was actually quite comfortable. I think it's just the right time for people like us from Aisa to visit since it won't be so cold or so hot. We may get used to it easily.

    You really are lucky to be able to visit Netherland when they have this festival, Queen's day!
    I loved all the photos, salad, fruits, and croissant (and I loved to eat them too heheh).
    From all photos in this blogs, I liked the third photos from the last. It looks beautiful. Also the second last photos, the flower in the shoes looks so sweet :)

    You are more than welcome. I'm happy to know it's informative for you. :)

  • Beautiful photos. This blog is also very informative because I never heard of Orange celebrations before. Thank you dear Grace!

    I was so exciting when I was in one of them to celebrate it. Here I added a video, take a look at it. Everybody was so happy and dancing on the boats. It was really an unforgettable experience of the orange celebration.

    You should have to go once you have a good chance. In Holland, you can see not only its beauty but also see its modern, art, wind power generation or even its culture. I enjoyed it very much and believe you would love it too. Have a nice day! 

  • I just learned about Queen's Day a few weeks ago. How exciting that you were there just in time for the orange celebration. Great pictures!
  • Hello Grace!!!You helped me to form the opinion, where i'd like to visit in Holland.You guided us through the interesting places of so beautiful country like Holland. Thanks.
