Queen's Day
Thursday Holland celebrated the Queen's birthday with a free day. This means anyone is free to sell their things (noncommercial) anywhere. So people sell food, their personal belongings, kids perform music and acts to make money, you can pet a dog for a euro, anything you can think of! The photos below are from Amsterdam. Every street in the city was like a market with people selling their stuff row after row it never ended. And don't forget to wear orange!
Vondel Park, a place to relax and get out of the madness although it was still quite mad here as well.
And you can't celebrate without eating poffertjes! They're mini pancakes with powdered sugar sprinkled on. A bit like funnel cake.
