Queens Day.
Hello all
Today is Queens Day.
Crazy Day
Free Day
If you have never been to Amsterdam for Queens day weekend it's a must see before you die type of thing.
Over 1 million people mostly dressed in orange take to the streets of Amsterdam and have a party. A free open day where anything can happen and ususally does. A mad day you are allowed do anything (except murder) and you will not be arrested or fined.
1000.s of owners set up stalls outside their houses and sell everything from the junk in their houses, champagne and strawberries, home made wine and lots of games as well like try balance a 20 cent coin on an apple in a bucket of water plus the usual ones like burst baloons with darts, get 3 darts into the same bank note and win the note (Euro 100, 200, 500) except if you watch the games long enough you will see NO ONE wins as either the darts are totally blunt or the notes are stuck on to a metal/steel plate.
The best area is the Jordaan area / Princengracht area. The amount of people and boats is amazing and everyone so happy.
This years weather was very nice, a wet Queens day is a real bummer but a warm sunny Queens day is so special.
