Saturday started with such promise for the weekend. Glorious sunny cloudless sky.
But it wasn’t to last. The breeze picked up and the clouds came. Temperatures
dropped and it started raining. Welcome to Holland
The neighbor took their ship to the wharf, and it was as usual, a tight squeeze
to get through the bridge and into the Amstel river.
I decided to go out anyway, camera and umbrella in hand.
I got a pizza at the Pizza Bakker. mmm!
Then I walked along the Plantage Middenlaan to see the flamingos in Artis.
Also saw a monster rat crossing the canal underwater. So if you think they can’t
get to your house…guess gain.
