Of course, once you’ve been to Amsterdam once, you’ll probably want to go again. So we extended our trip. Farewell De Lakens (really this time) and hello Zeeburg (again).
This time, we hired bikes and cycled into town – the Dutch way. The Night Watch and the obligatory cycle ride through the central arch of Rijksmuseum, and late afternoon niuewe haring sitting by the water.
Another traditional local delicacy? Curry. Home to a large south Indian community, it’s imperative that Saravanaa Bhavan, a much-frequented establishment on our trips through India, should have operations in Amsterdam. It was as if a small cube of Tamil Nadu had fallen out of the sky.
We also took the ferry to NDSM. No IJ-Hallen, but a great location. We’ll be back for the market.
