Amsterdam from 5th to 7th Jun 2011: On June 6th, we visited FloraHolland's biggest flower trade centre in Aalsmeer. It is the third largest building complex in the world. Flowers and plants are auctioned here everyday starting from 6am at thirteen clocks in five auction rooms.
We spent the whole afternoon in the 9 Streets in Jordaan district. It is the most sung about, describe and, frankly, romanticized town district of the Netherlands. It is a favourite residency of students,artists and young professionals.
