Happy King’s day everyone! Today some friends and I took the
train to Amsterdam to celebrate King’s Day. We took the 9 am train, transferring
in Maastricht and Utrecht Centraal, before arriving in Amsterdam. In
Maastricht, I bought an orange t-shirt with a crown on it, a headband with a
crown on it, and a ribbon to wear in honour of King’s Day (all in orange of
course as that’s the colour everyone wears today).
We basically enjoyed the day, taking part in all the
festivities we could. We went on one of the fair rides (a giant swing with an
amazing view of the city) and just walked around and took in all the sights,
including the “Iamsterdam” sign.
My favorite part was when we stopped to use the washroom, I
went into an “American foods” store and what did I find? Sour Patch Kids,
Hamburger Helper, and Kraft Mac’n Cheese! Three of my biggest cravings since
coming to Belgium! So of course I bought a package of all of them! I also got a
Henna tattoo on my arm.
King’s Day was such a cool experience and they had events
and activities for people of all ages.
