Dreaming in Black & White: Amsterdam Wintermarkt Christmas Markets in photos

Thursday, December 12th, 2013

Amsterdam's Wintermarkt along Damrak runs until 12th January 2014. I went on Saturday. I bought overpriced tulip bulbs, salivated at lots of chocolate, sweets and cakes. And then I drank more than a few gluehweins in a bar playing far too loud techno music. Tis the season! And you can see the same photos in colour here on my Flickr and if you love Amsterdam, you can follow my new Pinterest board dedicated to this city I live in. I've added a map so you can find some of the scenic spots I've pinned!
