To help celebrate our 50th blog entry, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands threw an enormous party for us, known as Queen's day.
While the celebration is national, obviously the best party is in Amsterdam, starting the night before and running all day on the 30th of April.
The temporary amusement park in the Dam.
The next morning we started at Vondelpark where children sell their wares and exhibit their talents for a little extra pocket money. It was packed with people and was especially nice as the entire park was sponsor and corporation free.
Josh beat a little kid at table football (4-3 if you're interested).
We met up with our friend Chantal who has decided to join us for the next few blog entries.
To put it simply, we had a super fun orange day!!
As a bonus, here are a few photos from our day and night in Rotterdam. Clockwise from the big one: Het Park, the marina, a model of the port within the Maritime Museum, mother duck and ducklings, tasty Indonesisch food and the surprisingly good Museum Boijmans van Beuningen.
Last but not least is our friend Joe giving Yaz a lift on a bike. He was very excited to be in our blog but complained that Josh might embarrass him by wittily mentioning his excitement. Sorry Joe, but we didn't even bother to think of something witty.
