We slept late this morning and after a very nice breakfast went to a Boeren Markt
( Farmer's Market) only a short distance from the apartment. The range of cheeses and breads made us feel hungry even though we had only just eaten.
After depositing our food that we purchased at the apartment we walked to the central station this time to buy the train tickets to Brugge for next Tues.
Also checked out the Metro we will use to visit my Uncle tomorrow.
We had an enjoyable visit to a museum that only Amsterdam would allow. Very popular it was with strange artifacts from the past and lots of tourists.
The streets were very crowded with visitors from all over, if the different languages that we heard were any guide .
We caught a tram to Waterlooplein flea market this is a place that meant a lot to my mum and she had spoken of it often and it didn't disappoint. The range of goods available was huge but the quality left a bit to be desired , lots of second hand shoes and boots to suit all sizes and styles with clothing to match if needed. A coffee in a local cafe was welcome with free wifi very handy to check the constant flow of emails "actually"
We spent the rest of the day wandering the very busy streets window shopping , there were crowds of tourists and groups of people taking part in Bucks and Hens weekends these groups were often dressed in strange outfits and were having a wonderful time .
We spent some time drinking a couple of beers and observing the goings on. This included some street theatre ,music ,and acrobats at Leidenplein before making our way back to the apartment late in the day .
Keenmolly signing off till next time
I'm glad to finally see some photo's, how very nice.
