Hey Friends,
as we started our Journey in:
Chapter One by building my little Campervan and safe Haven in the world,
started my Europe-Tour in Chapter Two with Luxemburg,
traveled on to the wonderful Belgium in Chapter Three & Chapter Four,
we are now straying further north to discover:
📌 The Netherlands
My Favourite Roadmap of the Netherlands:
- Breda
- Leiden
- Gouda
- Amsterdam
- Haarlem
- Alkmaar
- Groningen
- Utrecht
- Eindhoven
- Maastrich
I visited all Cities above 100k inhabitants, but only providing my favourites to you!
From now on Tips, Must-Sees or just my everyday busking life.
Breda a cozy little City with lots of Students and History to offer. Here a piece of the Castle thats completely surrounded by water :)
The "Grote Kerke" what means "Great Church" is just one of Bredas sights.
seems like the most causal thing to do in Bredas Park, where i caught our friend on his morning walk/flight :p
Leiden, known for its "Grachten" (Canals) is a really small but all the more picturesque and original dutch City.
The Center of Leiden is 50% divided in water and ground-streets <3
This is where the Gouda Cheese is from: Gouda! Totally fell for those Girls looking like the Smurfs <3
Theres really a huge tradition the Dutch are having with there beloved Cheese. Weekly the People of Gouda are hosting an event that reconstructs a historical market day. All the people shouting there deals, trying to get there cheese to the best conditions. Tapping on the cheese to get its ripeness-stat is also part of the procedure (: Make sure to visit Gouda during one of these market-days.
Is there anybody that could resist? :p
Guess most of the people know about the capital of the Netherlands: Amsterdam.
and i keep on guessing, that mostly things like pot or weed pops up to their minds, by thinking of amsterdam.
its true that various different drugs that are forbidden in the rest of the European Countries are legal to buy in Amsterdam.
The Menu of "The Green House" :D
On of the best known Coffeeshop in Amsterdam is the Bulldog, where you can actually get real coffee and food or just do what 99% of the customers are doing: smoking a joint 💨
This is a typcial picture of Amsterdam. There are mostly small Alleys. And as you enter one with lots of shopwindows, dont be suprised if one of the sparsely dressed Window Dummys starts blinking at you. Amsterdam has a huge Redlight-District.
In a sinfull city like Amsterdam a Church is maybe badly in need? ^^
I personally got a lot of faith if its one religion itself im not really sure about - but i love big religious buildings to get refueled with a lot of faith and confidence <3
yeeeezuz... St. Nikolaus Basilica looking gorgeous! :p
had some really funny hours playing in the streets with tons of disinhibited peps
In Amsterdam you definitely wont lack of new crazy friends to make. In my case my first friend of Kuwait and also a Songwriter Taymour Khajah (click for Soundcloud) (:
Recorded Jamsession of Columbian Friends and me in a Coffeeshop :)
