Day 8 - April 26, 2014


The day dawned sunny and cool. This was a day for the boys to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds (and smells) of the much heralded "King's Day" celebration on the streets of Amsterdam. Our intrepid host Jos led the group into town, where they enjoyed loempia, hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries and waffles with ice cream. The streets were full of vendors selling...things. It was a massively distributed yard sale with orange-themed fashionistas milling about on an epic scale.

Ahh, the smell of the great outdoors.
