We decided to have a little girls’ weekend in Amsterdam. Mid-June should be ideal for good weather. We booked a small boathouse very close to the center with a parking space. Because, yes, we took the car, unfortunately so much cheaper than the train for two people. After a chaotic night, to make a long story short, we slept barely three hours, here we are on the road at 7 a.m. The weather is nice, that\u2019s good news. Should I mention a problem with the tires that had to be re-inflated urgently?! Or this gas station, the last in France before Belgium, whose toilets were out of order?! We arrive at our destination early in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The weather is\nholding up, more or less. For good weather we will have to come back\nnext year! We exit the Central Station metro station and begin our\nwalk through the narrow, cannabis-scented streets. Brief aside, I\nwill never get used to this acrid and nauseating smell. Along the\nSpui straat, booths are set up. It looks like a flea market, there\nare even groups of old singers having a blast. It’s very joyful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have one goal:\nfind cool clothes in second-hand stores like Episode, Vintage, etc.\nSo, we go in, we search, well my daughter searches and we come out\nempty handed! It must be said that the weather doesn’t help and\npersonally, I never manage to find anything. I always need help !\nAfter 4 different stores, we give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know a perfect\nplace to enjoy crazy pancakes. It is Pancakes Amsterdam Negen\nStraatjes at 38 Berenstraat. We order a \u00ab salty \u00bb pancake\neach to share: one with smoked salmon, leek, Japanese mayonnaise and\nanother one with spinach, mushrooms, leek, paprika and pesto. And for\ndessert: a pancake with lemon curd, meringue and cookie crumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather is\ngetting darker, the clouds are rolling in, the rain is falling. We\nwill come back for good weather, obviously. To the way to the station\nit\u2019s really raining cats and dogs. We try to shelter ourselves. The\nwind blows so hard that the umbrella is useless. We would be flying\nlike Mary Poppins!
\nLet\u2019s go back to the car before we drown. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
