Shopping in Amsterdam… at the Albert Cuyp market
Of course markets are alike all over the world. Still ...shopping in Amsterdam at the Albert Cuyp market is a nice experience and worth reporting on. Lots of food for very low prices. (I mean strawberries for € 1.50 in February? That is cheap.) Lots of flowers, fresh...
Shopping in Amsterdam… Haarlemmerstraat
This time my shopping in Amsterdam was aimed at vintage stores in Haarlemmerstraat. However, old clothes and shoes are less captivating than stunning buildings, canals and beautifully displayed merchandise. To solve that "problem", my two colleague friends came with...
Shopping in Amsterdam, the Jordaan area
This fourth part of my shopping in Amsterdam tour, took us to the Jordaan. A famous area in this city with small and old houses. The neighbourhood was formed in 1600. The people who lived there were always renowned for their humor, their poverty and for looking after...
Shopping in Amsterdam the Nine Streets area – part 2

How about a long (fashion) weekend and shopping in Amsterdam?
For a few months I have been contemplating the idea of meeting some of you next year to go shopping in Amsterdam. Would you consider it? This is the idea: I search for fun places in Amsterdam to go shopping. Or to see fashion related stuff, like there is the bag...
Boating and shopping in Amsterdam
Last Saturday it was splendid weather, not too hot, not too cold. Perfect weather to go boating in Amsterdam with friends. I don't know whether "boating" is the right word, but "sailing" with a motorboat sounds very silly to me. This post has a lot of pictures (20 or...
Queens Day and …Spring in The Netherlands
Since 1949 we have celebrated Queens Day on April 30, the birthday of Queen Juliana, even after Beatrix became queen. That is because the birthday of Queen Beatrix (now Princess Beatrix) is January 31 which date is far too cold to celebrate anything outdoors. What...
