1st day of Spring!

the sun was shining - at 8am no less - and the weather, a crisp 9+ degrees....a great day for a Sunday's afternoon out!

we started with a little bit of a walk from the library along the Oostersdok, with boats of all shapes and sizes! (above is a replica of one of the Dutch East India Company ships, the 'Amsterdam') in front of the NEMO Science Centre

as well as some boats along the boulevard..

we then made it to the  Amsterdam Historical Museum (www.ahm.nl) for a contemporary art exhibition on a pretty immersive installation about the red light district here in A'dam...more info on the site...

we then made a short coffee pitstop, and happened to find this cool couple just in front of the Museum!

after an express lunch, we decided to take a bit of a ramble through town, and as you can see, the weather's pretty sweet!

(no..am not double barrelling my milkshakes, just holding onto J's at the same time...but yes, the weather is good enough for milkshakes on the go!)

Oh yah, for the eagle eyed on the internet; it's also officially Keukenhof season (i.e. tulip fields abound! now...so the hordes of tourists should be rocking up on our shores soon..
