We have been enjoying the browsing and shopping on Albertcuypstraat just outside our door at the NickyBee Studio Apartments in Amsterdam. This market is a combo of Flea Market/Farmer's Market/Strip Mall that runs for 3 full city blocks and a side street. It is supposed to be for pedestrians only, but some bikers do not walk their bikes. When walking down next to the closest canal, we spotted the Holland Casino Amsterdam with a canal tour boat passing in front.
We passed on the opportunity to order a pickled herring sandwich complete with raw onion. I am told it is an acquired taste. But I am brave and may try it yet. We had after all just eaten lunch. This is right in front of the Agora Hotel where the boys stayed on their trip to Amsterdam. They passed on pickled herring also.
At the flower market they sell more than just tulip and amaryllis starters.
Only in Amsterdam would you see a sex shop next to a McDonalds.
Rembrandt was paid to do the painting Nightwatch of a Rifle company in ~1640. The statue of Rembrandt is in the background and in the foreground is a copy of the figures in the painting in bronze by two Russian sculptures.
