Last day in Amsterdam
Our last day in Amsterdam, filled with pictures of boats and canals.
Patisseries and Chocolatiers of Amsterdam
I was holding out for the best pastries, and when I got to Holtkamp I stopped looking. I got sucked in the door by the meringues in the window, but it was the cakes that were really incredible.
Amsterdam by night
Amsterdam – Heineken land
You know you’re in Heineken land when even the bottle opener in your hotel room says Heineken on it.
Mermaid jewelry
We discovered an incredible artist – Faktor Inc.- in the art market of Amsterdam who was making jewelry that she called “mermaid jewelry”, and I can certainly imagine a mermaid wearing it.
Touring the Markets and Canals of Amsterdam
Traveling by boat was the perfect way to get see Amsterdam, since there are so many canals. Later, we discovered new things in the market, like stroopwafel and halva, and lots and lots of cheese.
Amsterdam wedding
With so many canals in Amsterdam, some couples arrive by boat to their wedding. There may be a party on the boat before the reception. Dutch law only acknowledges civil marriages, which are performed by a registrar of marriages, so the civil ceremony takes place before the religious ceremony, sometimes at the same location.
Cupcake stand
Found the cutest cupcake stand in Amsterdam.
Wedding Cake Toppers in Amsterdam
These wedding cake toppers are so unique. They are made by hand by Peter en Jeannette in Amsterdam. Some are for gay couples, some for a reluctant groom, and there is one of a pregnant bride that Jeannette had just finished that morning. (peter.dave@hotmail.com)
