Queens Day! :: Brooks Alberta Photography ::

Yesterday was Queens Day in Holland and ohhhh boy it was Kaaraazaaay! (Yes, I did just write crazy with a K)

We arrived in Amsterdam the day before Queens Day and rested up. My friend Martijn invited us to stay with him and we were so grateful for the good sleep and then the amazing hospitality. The evening before the big day we went out to dinner with 35 of Martijns friend to a Tapas restaurant and then we went clubbing. Clubbing isn't something we do very often. Actually, almost never. Definitely never European style. It was a fun night and the next day we wandered the streets with a million other people and breathed in the bbq smells, the pancake sweetness and the fries with mayonnaise. The canals were jammed with boats and the music on water and land was deafening. The crowd wore orange, their national colour and what I wouldn't give to have seen the sight from above.

Now we're off to check out museums and enjoy a quieter day in Amsterdam.
