Amsterdam Day 3 – Lindengracht Market

I think I shall be creating a ‘Travel’ page so I can include links to all my holiday posts in a nice and oganised list. I say this now but of course, don’t know when it’ll actually get done.

We got up early that morning, and unlike the day before we got ready in an hour instead of five. Probably because of the check-out time!

First stop was the [something] Market
I really cannot remember its name – but it’s really close to Anne Frank’s House, north of it.
Actually, I just did a quick search and I THINK it’s the Lindengracht Market

The walk there from Central Station was just lovely
Hotdogs on the way

I was really fascinated by all the mini-vehicles around Amsterdam
They had mini cars and mini vans
I only managed to get the van version on camera

Strawberry ice-cream bicycle!

The market was heaps of fun
Many unusual people and things
Almost got a pair of blue Cheap Monday jeans but realised I hardly ever use my other pair, or any of my other jeans anyway so scrapped that idea

Lots and lots of vintage goods
Clothes, shoes, bags, scarves, postcards, books, jewelry, tea sets etc etc
I especially liked the postcards – they were 1 Euro each though.

This dog belonged to the owner of a stall
He/she was very well-behaved in the van!

Bunch of old buttons
The corners of the photo are blackened not because I was trying to be fancy but because the lens cover of my camera wouldn’t open properly…

LOVED walking the streets around the market everything was so interesting to look at!

I look like old boots in this next photo but it’s the only one I have (sort of, until I get a certain dvd from a certain someone..hahaha) that kinda shows the blazer I picked up

Yup, we re-visited the clog to get a nice daytime photo of us in it.
It’s THE thing to do, now hopefully we’ll turn up in the results when someone searches for ‘Amsterdam clog’ in Google Images – or even ‘Two amazing girls in Amsterdam’.

Throughout our stay there my food mainly consisted of:

Omelettes (yum)

and

Pofertjes!

Actually I lie.. I only had the second one once. HA HA.
So good though.
