Oh, how I love Amsterdam in the warm months! The people set up little tables and chairs – and sometimes nothing at all – to sit on and have an afternoon biertje and borrelhapjes. The Dutch definitely appreciate their outdoor time, so when the weather is fitting for some good people watching, tables like these are pushed out onto the front stoops across the city and filled with Dutch treats.
Love Amsterdam too. We have much better weather here in Australia but it seems the Dutch show a greater appreciation and enjoy those moments to the fullest. Regards Peet
Yes, the weather leaves a lot to be desired sometimes, but they definitely appreciate even the slightest of sunny days… they’re on a terrace with the first ray of sunshine. 🙂
