A Summer Afternoon in Amsterdam

A Summer Afternoon in Amsterdam

It is not often that Amsterdam is sunny and dry. But when it so, especially in summers, it is the place to be. You will see everyone in the canals in their private boats just cruising around while having some drinks and snacks. Just the perfect way to relax in the afternoon sun.

Above on the roads besides the canals, you can see people walking or biking around in the perfect weather … while it lasts.. The outside seating on most cafes are full as you can see people catching up with friends over a beer and a loong conversation.
