By the time you see this, dear reader, we should be winging our way to my favourite city on earth [after London] - Amsterdam! What better way to mark the occasion than with this glittering version of one of that city's greatest "anthems"?
Aan de Amsterdamse grachten
heb ik heel mijn hart voor altijd verpand.
Amsterdam vult mijn gedachten,
als de mooiste stad in ons land.
Al die Amsterdamse mensen,
al die lichtjes 's avonds laat op het plein.
Niemand kan zich beter wensen
dan een Amsterdammer te zijn.
How utterly fabulous!
["Normal" service will resume after we get back on Monday night, dear reader!]
Have a lovely trip, dahling. And be careful not to bring back any unwanted 'souvenirs.'
ReplyDeleteThe only souvenirs we brought back were cigarettes! 😁
DeleteIt was a great trip indeed... Jx
Have an Amstel beer for me! xx
ReplyDeleteWe had far too much gassy beer, as always - but hey! When in Mokum... Jx
DeleteSafe travels, m'dear! Hope you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteSx
'Twas utterly fabulous! More on that later, no doubt... Jx
DeleteI trust you had a simply fabulous time and managed to wave your lighter in time to the anthem? Unlike the hoards in that video... They're all over the shop!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, just about everyone there is actually stood in a boat (and presumably with a stash of booze) so I am hardly surprised..! The Dutch certainly know how to enjoy themselves... Jx
DeleteWelcome back. Did you enjoy a dally round De Wallen?
ReplyDeleteIt's where our hotel was, but unfortunately there weren't any windows free while we were there...
DeleteMind you, I can't carry off a leopardskin bikini like I used to these days, so it's probably just as well. Jx
