Hej peeps, yesterday me and the boy visited Amsterdam. We go there once a year and it's always so cool to be there. It's such a charming city, with cute cafés, lots of vintage/2nd hand shops, fleamarkets and so many other shops, that we don't have here.
We parked our car in one of the P&R (park & ride) car parks, which is really cheap. We only paid 1 Euro for a whole day, and used the public transit to the city central station for 5 Euros.
So if you wanna visit Amsterdam, this is definately the best option to park your car.
All other car parks are increadibly expensive.
After we arrvied in the city, we went to the botanical garden "Hortus Botanicus",
which we already wanted to see last year.
Here are some photos, this place makes me long for summer.
It is march, so the plants outside were not in bloom, but the garden has two big tropical greenhouses and a butterfly house. The greenhouses are really high and they also have some ponds included.
You can buy some plants at Hortus too, and they also have a lovely gift shop.
Cute house with a hidden garden.
Went to my favourite vintage shop Indianaweg10, which is placed in a very cool and quiet area.
The girls, two sisters, who manage the shop with lots of heartblood, gave a little shop party for their shop's first year anniversary. Everything was 15 % off and they served cake and beer. ♡
It was really cool to talk with Romy and Débra, who are really kind and lovely.
They created a pretty shop, full of vintage bohemian clothing, selfmade jewelries and clothing, accessories, cosmetics, interior items and fresh plants ... Absoloutely my taste.
Of course I didn't leave empty handed: An indian cotton blouse from the 70s, a belt and a handmade cosmetic bag left the shop with me ☻

Another cool shop I visited was Anna + Nina. They have beautiful golden interior items, super cool jewelries and bags. I totally fell in love with the shell bags, it's like giving your style a
little mermaid touch.
But I ended up with two of these lovely plates. I chose the pink palmtree plate and the blue moon box. They will look great in our new appartment. Of course I could have bought each of
these designs...
Just can't remember the name of this shop, but look at the wallpaper. Could imagine this for our appartment, too.
This was were we had dinner. A super cute café with the loveliest interior.
It looked like you're sitting in a living room.
This is what we ate, a fresh mint tea and a tuna sandwich for the boy and chai latte (soo goood) and a panini with grilled veggies and cheese for me. We really enjoyed this dinner, it was super delish and the athmosphere for dining was perfect, we were almost alone, because the restaurant was going to close soon ☻
