amsterdam east

Sunday 26th of August, Amsterdam East.

Garden park Klein Dantzig. Allotments and inspiring garden sheds.

Park Frankendael, Pure Markt. We visited my friend Dietske and her daughter Floor, creators of the handmade upcycled vintage fabric tote bags, named Trashtote Amsterdam.

A short walk to ATLITW East, where founder and friend Jane invited us for coffee.

At the end of the afternoon we had a drink at Bar Botanique.

Spontaneous afternoon trip to Amsterdam on this late summer Sunday in August.

It's always a challenge to avoid the touristic places in Amsterdam.
This time we discovered some cool places in Amsterdam East.

We visited a friend who just moved in to her new house. What an amazing place.
The funny thing is I took a photo of her house the day before (I loved it so much and said I could live there!), without knowing it's her house.
Together we had coffee & cake at All The Luck In The World, owned by another friend of mine, Jane.

In the afternoon we went to De Hallen and had lunch at the Kanarie Club.
And at the end of the day we had a rest on the roof terrace of ZOKU for a drink with a view.

After walking 'the half marathon of Amsterdam', we went back to our divine attic room in the Lloyd Hotel to rest for a while and we decided not to walk anymore and had diner on the sunny terrace, located on the south side of the Lloyd building.

Three days in Amsterdam.

The beautiful hotel room with a swing (and bath) in the middle of the high attic room, was the biggest birthday surprise I could wish for...

We stayed for the 4th time at the Lloyd Hotel, but this definitely was the nicest room ever!
Great historical building and perfect location in East to avoid the busy tourist parts of Amsterdam.

We had lunch at Bar Botanique and walked around the neighborhood, visited my friend Jane in her shop All The Luck In The World, climbed to the roof of the Nemo building and discovered many new special places in the always surprising capital.
