It’s been spectacular weather here in Amsterdam for the past week and I thought you might like to come with me on a mini trip around the canals. The lovely Davo, our guest in the (blog)house, has invited us all out on his weekend runabout, and who would say no to that? David has been an awesome guest – sharing his photos, photographic tips, and latest projects with us, and now this boat trip – he is definately welcome back to the (blog)house anytime! But sadly we have to say ‘dag’ to Davo as a new guest is arriving shortly. So let’s say our goodbyes now (no tears, he will be back, I promise) and enjoy the weekend touring the canals of Amsterdam…

So what about the soundtrack you ask? Ah, click here to open it and come back to this page to scroll the pics below. Have you got a glass of rosè? and would you like some cheese? Here you go. Enjoy…

Thanks to Eddie Vedder for supplying the music (via some strange you tube user). Have a fabulous weekend and I’ll see you back here on Monday with another little something special.

French Boy, you might want to close your eyes. Everyone else, come with me.

all i can say is, these people KNOW how to party. I have never seen anything like it. I thought my friends were exaggerating when they told me the streets and canals are jam packed with happy people, but as you can see this is exactly what happens on Queens Day in glorious Amsterdam. I took a tonne of photos and here is a snippet from my Queen’s Day photo album. I have a feeling there will be a part two and three to come! It is hard not to get caught up on in all the action, the buzz is contagious and hopefully you will feel it a little in these shots.

something you don’t want to happen to you…

What an awesome day. If you have ever had the urge to come to Amsterdam, THIS is the day to come. You will be guaranteed to have the time of your life.
