Just got back from Holland, mainly Amsterdam, Zandaam, and Nardin-Bussen. What a wonderful country! Absolutely beautiful and downright insane! I thought it was humourous that I couldnt smoke a cigarette in a cafe because the law prohibits it but people around me where allowed to order Marijuanah :lol:

Anyway, down to the pics:

A quick pic of me showing off my favorite watch and my favorite traveling companion, the PAM 233

Great pictures Altair! Quite a few that could easily make it into the Holland Tourist Board catalogue there. (Maybe not the last one though, eh? :wink: :poke: )

I've never been to Holland myself, but those pics really make me want to go. Great stuff.

I think it is safe to say you have taken a picture or two in your days.

Those are postcard worthy

Pics 2,3 & 4 look awfully close to a certain district with red lights eh Altair :poke: :wink:

Great photos. I'm glad you had a good time. I loved Amsterdam, great vibe and a fun place to spend some time.

Great pictures, I have spent a lot of time in Holland, nice fun people, relaxed, yet organised, recommend it to anyone, plenty of culture, night life and as Altair has shown in his photos nice scenery.

Yes very beautiful place, and boy talk about culture shock! To go from one extreme to another (from Saudi to Amsterdam and back) where you cant drink alcohol to a place where you can order magic mushrooms off a five star hotel services book is just overwhelming!

Did you make it to the Grasshopper Bar for a 90 proof Absinthe?

Afraid not, not a drinker. My only vices are cigarettes and, as you can tell from that pic, the occasional cheesecake :lol:
