AMSTERDAM SUMMER?

It can be such a beautiful thing. After months of freezing temperatures, where the sun struggles to even reach beyond the horizon, Amsterdam starts to flower at the slightest hint of warmth.The Dutch have an appreciation for the sun that is seldom seen in many countries and hordes of people take to the parks, canals and terraces like it’s a holiday, absorbing every last bit of vitamin D.For a country that has an average of below 50 hours of sun during the winter months – you can understand why.

“…INDEED, A BIT OF SUN IS CAUSE FOR
CELEBRATION IN THIS CITY…”

At the end of the day though, this is Holland, and the weather can change at any moment! Summers in Amsterdam can be a mix of delight and disappointment.
Memories of last year’s summer are still fresh in the minds of  many and we don’t like to talk about it.
“SO IF YOU SEE THE SUN SHINING –
MAKE THE MOST OF IT…”
