Amsterdam March 2010

[Sundae]

And here are some cakies I did buy.
Blame certain substances for a certain condition occasionally called the munchies...
And yes it was cheaper to buy two

These were from a glorious patisserie just round the corner from my hotel - a shopping street not mentioned in any guidebooks but lovely all the same. I dallied there whenever I was headed in that direction.

There was a branch of Albert Heijn there, a Netherlands supermarket. Apparently it's the most expensive of the supermarkets, but as all tourists know a supermarket is much cheaper than eating out. And it was close! I bought some stroopwafels there, and a Dutch tulip vase as a present for my ma. Seen below with carnations in - tulips aren't out in this country yet. Okay so I didn't shop there instead of eating out, but I did buy my fizzy water there.
