Amsterdam part 2.
Today I am showing you more photo's of Amsterdam, today not the canals round the centre where later the rich lived but more of the old centre where Amsterdam was founded round the 13th century. It started its existance as a little fishing village and draws its name from the river Amstel. There are not many houses left of that time because houses were built of wood and easily got burnt until it was forbidden to do so.
Lovely facades on those narrow houses. Little boats in every canal in Amsterdam.
It was a busy day in Amsterdam. There was a marathon going on so many visitors.

Did I mention bycicles?
café near the market
for sale.
All for sale on the Nieuwmarkt.
On the back is the St Nicolaaschurch.St Nicolaas is the patron of the men at sea and many churches are called after him.
It was a beautiful sunny day so everywhere the terraces in front iof the café's and restaurants were full with relaxing people drinking a beer or a glass of wine.
'Look at the facades.
Aren't the facades of these houses beautiful?

I am impressed with how neat everything looks. The houses are beautiful.

Oh thank you, thank you Riet for taking me to this beautiful part of Amsterdam. Oh I have always wanted to see it for myself, but probably will never be able too, so this is such a wonderful walk around town.
I always love seeing pictures of the canals that flow through the towns.
I hope all is great with you dear friend and that you Autumn is glorious!
hugs from here...

Amsterdam is a beautiful city, and it's way too long since I've been there. Lovely photos!
Vooral die mooie oude gevels doen het goed in deze serie, Riet. Ik ben allerminst een stadmens, maar hier kijk ik toch graag eens naar.
Wat een schitterende foto,s heb je weer gemaakt Riet.
