AMSTERDAM/ PART TWO.

Day two in sunny Amsterdam! We explored a few markets, ventured to the lovely Vondlepark and cycled around (on the condition that we didn't leave the park... I was not keen on braving the traffic) and paid a quick visit to the Van Gogh Museum. We rounded up the night with delicious burgers from 'Geflipt' on the balcony. So. Good.
I'll share the final photos on Friday!

LESS THAN A MINUTE FROM OUR LITTLE APARTMENT WAS THE ALBERT CUYPMARKT, A STREET FILLED WITH EVERY KIND OF MARKET STALL. BEHIND THE STALLS WERE A COUPLE OF SHOPS INCLUDING THIS BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE ONE...  
...I HAPPILY COULD HAVE BOUGHT MOST OF THE SHOP BUT MY CABIN BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE AND THE SHIPPING FEES STOPPED ME. 
VINTAGE CLOTHES.
A FLOWER STAND FULL OF SUNFLOWERS.
I AMSTERDAM.
VONDELPARK WAS SURROUNDED BY THE PRETTIEST TOWN HOUSES.
AUTUMN ARRIVED.
CYCLING! (THANKS MACBIKE) IT TOOK WAY TOO MANY ATTEMPTS TO GET A DECENT SHOT WHILE MOVING: MY ONE-HANDED STEERING AND BALANCE WERE NOT UP TO SCRATCH. 
UNLIKE JENI'S, WHAT A PRO!
THE ROSE GARDENS WERE JUST ABOUT HOLDING ON. 
RAINBOW STREET.
THE RIJKSMUSEUM.
 BEAUTIFUL ARCHWAYS.
